Whenever I write something that has deep recursion in it, Dimitre
shouts at me, so I've started trying to avoid it.  Something about not
all processors optimising tail recursion and some of them crashing
spectacularly over a certain depth.

Cheat.  Do the capitalisation too :)

But don't mistake me - no argument from me that regular expressions
are much better suited than XSLT to string manipulation.
