Don't have a visual view of XSLTs, but whenever I think of recursion 
(which I do a lot with XSLT) the Ouroboros[1]  comes to mind.

May be there is a subconscious visual image I have of XSLT, but I have 
never thought about it long enough to make it conscious.

I also like to think of XSLTs like a messaging system (with a match like 
a message). When I first started, I would think of AWK.
