With latest code, the recursionLimit can be set.  If the size of the "template 
stack" exceeds the recursionLimit, then you should get an error message like:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Template nesting too deep. nesting = 
10, template match pattern is  /

If the recursionLimit is too high, it's still possible to get a StackOverflow 
exception or other behaviour as Joe describes.
