Re: [xsl] Parent Node recursion template fails

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't have a template rule that matches the document node (/) in 
mode navigation-special_paint-selected, so when the recursion reaches 
the root, the built-in template for document nodes is invoked. The 
built-in template rule applies-templates to its children, so you 
oscillate infinitely between the root document node and its element 
child. The solution is to add a rule for match="/" that does nothing.
