Inconsistent exception when XSL runs into an infinite loop

Additional thought: I think the tooling APIs could be used to implement an 
"external" depth counter/limiter. It probably would have more performance 
impact. On the other hand, it would allow designing an interactive response: 
"Your stylesheet's execution stack is now 300 templates deep. This may be an 
infinite recursion. Should we proceed for another 300?"

(The right answer is probably to support both the simple limit counter and the 
tooling-based approach.)
