The most obvious change you can make is to replace the recursive template
with an iteration. Something like:

> <stil for="def" type="1">dyn</stil>
> <stil for="def" type="2">plain</stil>
> <stil for="dyn" type="1">def</stil>
> <stil for="dyn" type="2">plain</stil>
> <stil for="plain" type="1">def</stil>
> <stil for="plain" type="2">dyn</stil>
> </xsl:param>
> <xsl:variable name="stilnum" select="2"/>
>
> <xsl:template name="changeStyles">
> 	<xsl:variable name="br_type" select="@browse"/>
> 	<xsl:variable name="st_type" select="@style"/>
>   <tempxsl:template match="change_style">
> 	<xsl:variable name="stiltext"
> select="$siblings/stil[@for=$st_type and
> @type=position()]"/>
>
    <xsl:for-each select="1 to $stilnum">

    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
