[Bug 28114] [xslt 3.0] Cycles in attribute sets

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28114

--- Comment #3 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
Looking at the case in comment #2 more closely, note that XSLT 2.0 said only:

[ERR XTSE0720] It is a static error if an xsl:attribute-set element directly or
indirectly references itself via the names contained in the use-attribute-sets
attribute.

So the kind of recursion described in comment #2 was not disallowed by this
rule. It's not clear whether it was disallowed by the general rules on
"circular definitions". I'd be inclined to say it falls into the same category
as function or template recursion, and if it's non-terminating, there's no
guarantee it will be handled tidily.
