Two-stage recursive algorithms in XSLT | "xsl:param and xsl:variable elements have local scope and can only be 'shadowed' in a 'more local' scope, by another variable with the same name. Among other things, this makes it difficult to implement iterative computations, very common in procedural languages" [TopXML]
