Is there an equivalent of 'while' loop in XSLT 2.0?
it depends what you mean by equivalence.
xsl:apply-templates and xsl:for-each are the main constructs that cause
a block of instructions to be repeated, which play the part of while
loops in imperative languages.
Clearly you couldn't have a loop construct in a declarative language
that looped "until something was true" as the language is side-effect
free so if the condition is not true when the loop starts it will never
be true as no instructions in the body of a template can change values
outside that template.
