<xsl:template match="baz">
  <xsl:call-template name="while">
    <xsl:with-param name="foo" select="$foo"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="while">
  <xsl:param name="foo"/>
  <xsl:param name="bar"/>
  <xsl:if test="not($foo='bar')">
    <!-- begin blah -->
    <xsl:variable name="newfoo" select="maz"/>
    <!-- end blah -->
    <xsl:call-template name="while">
      <xsl:with-param name="foo" select="$newfoo"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
