Well, as David just pointed out this template doesn't actually put any text 
nodes into the result, although it does construct an element whenever it 
gets into the xsl:otherwise.

If it's constructed properly (sorry I don't have time to test; I'm still 
not sure I understand fully in any case), however, it might be as simple as 
inserting an <xsl:value-of select="$cdata"/> after the <xsl:copy-of 
select="@*"/> instruction in the otherwise clause. (Did David just suggest 
this too?)

The only text you can count on being available in the named template here 
is what you've passed in as $cdata, plus whatever you can grab by using 
XPath within your context (which inside the for-each select="$do-sect" will 
be whatever $do-sect is).

But I still don't see the necessity for template recursion here. Could you 
provide an example of the output you want to get from these two inputs?

<foreach param="devices">
<tr><td><b>BOLDFACE</b> Some Text</td><td>Here</td></tr>
<tr><td> Test11</td><td>Test</td></tr>
</foreach>

<doc>
<item>dev1</item>
<item>dev2</item>
<item>dev3</item>
<item>dev4</item>
</doc>

Cheers,
Wendell
