Re: [xsl] implement for loop with XSLT

It only _looks_ bad. If you close your eyes then it seems a lot better.

Specifically the syntax for parameters in XSL is verbode, even by the
standards of XML, so anything that calls a template with a couple or
more parameters looks far worse than it is. Howver this is just surface
syntax, if you think of the template call as f(x,y) then you'll see that
the overhead isn't really very much in the recursive call.
