Heh! You sir, are sick. (In the nicest possible way, of course)
I meant something more, uh, traditional than XSLT, but I take
your point ;)

why, thank you! and people wonder why it's dangerous for cocoon to accept
xml or xslt from an untrusted agent... but this hack wasn't for cocoon at

<xpl:for init="" test="true" inc="">
<xpl:call-function name="myMyThisIsALittleVerboseIsntIt"/>
