you might want to try a recursive template, something like:


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
        <!-- 
example call
        -->
        <xsl:template match="/">
                <xsl:call-template name="for-loop">
                        <xsl:with-param name="i">5</xsl:with-param>
                        <xsl:with-param name="stopat">20</xsl:with-param>
                </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:template>
        <!-- 
forloop([i, ]stopvalue) 
        -->
        <xsl:template name="for-loop">
                <xsl:param name="stopat" select="50"/>
                <xsl:param name="i" select="1"/>
                <xsl:if test="$i &lt;= $stopat">
                        <!-- insert output here -->
                        <xsl:value-of select="concat($i, ', ')"/>
                        <!-- / -->
                        <xsl:call-template name="for-loop">
                                <xsl:with-param name="stopat" select="$stopat"/>
                                <xsl:with-param name="i" select="$i + 1"/>
                        </xsl:call-template>
                </xsl:if>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


both params are optional. just insert the output you want at the specified 
position.
