Re: [xsl] for loop

["Mitch C. Amiano" <Mitch dot Amiano at alcatel dot com>]

I noticed another reply where a filter was used to emulate a loop.
This is nice, but requires some prior knowledge of the input. 

Based on another note you sent, I would suggest that you consider
finding some way to shift the responsibility for looping away
from XSLT and onto SVG code.
