I didn't suggest that "for-each" may run faster.
I said that iterative constucts may be implemented more efficiently.
(This is a general statement and we all know that efficiency varies
accross implementations.)
Sorry. Quite right, my paraphrase was careless and I thank you for
the clarification.
This by no means should be interpreted as a recommendation to choose
<xsl:for-each> over <xsl:apply-templates>.
That's a relief!
To repeat once again my statement: Choose an iterative construct over
*explicit* recursion, if this is possible.
Amen.
