                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW

  Target Milestone: ---

If you call a stylesheet that itself calls fn:transform that in turn, directly
or indirectly, calls itself, we have a circularity dependency.

This may be intentional and cause a recursion that ends. It may indicate a
failure and cause indefinite recursion.

I don't think there is any way this can be detected, esp. since the execution
context is implementation dependent (or defined?). But I think it makes sense
to add a little Note explaining that it is allowed and that infinite recursion
may go undetected.
