Sorry I should have explained myself better.
If I had an XML document which consisted of many nodes such as:
<register name="DATA" offset="0">
<no_of_regs>1</no_of_regs>
<descriptivename>Data register</descriptivename>
<description>The ...ster.</description>
<description>In ord..H.</description>
<description>..Oe...</description>
<bitfield name="DATA">
<function>Input data.</function>
<bitpos>0</bitpos>
<no_of_bits>10</no_of_bits>
<initialvalue></initialvalue>
<accesstype>RW</accesstype>
</bitfield>
<bitfield name="Reserved">
<function>Output data</function>
<bitpos>10</bitpos>
<no_of_bits>6</no_of_bits>
<initialvalue>0</initialvalue>
<accesstype>RW</accesstype>
</bitfield>
<register name="CONTROL" offset="20">
.........
I would like to have an output document which will evaluate all of the
<bitfield> elements for a given register, and give me an expression for
each register, as one value.
For example, with one case I would like in
my output document to have an expression showing the initial value of a
register. This is evaluated, by a simple algorithm which will shift
each <bitfield> <initialvalue> (initial value of each individual
bitfield) by the required <bitpos> (bit position within the register),
with all the bitfields within a simple register having to be evaluated.
So my result document might look like:
Register DATA Initial Value = X
Register CONTROL Initial Value = Y
etc...
Now I dont have a problem with the maths involved (I am developing
shifting and decimal to hex/binary templates).The problem is that I
cant dynamically update a variable in XSL while traversing the tree. to
call a recursive template would require me to keep track of which
<bitfield> elements I have processed?
Any Ideas?

maybe it's just me not understanding the problem description
but can't you just use normal tree traversal here
<xsl:apply-templates/>...
<xsl:template match="bitfield">
<xsl:call-template whatever recursive algorithm you wanted to do...
maybe it would help if you showed the desired output given your input
fragment
