Mukul Gandhi commented on XALANC-720:
-------------------------------------

As Steven rightly pointed, one of your templates forces an infinite recursion. 
It obviously looks like a programming mistake, and not a bug with the product.

Trying to understand the intent of your problem template (from it's comments, 
i.e <!--  Add a new header if it doesn't exist -->), I think you probably have 
to do something like below,

<xsl:template match="HTTPResponse/Headers">
   <Headers>
      <xsl:if test="not(Header/@name = 'hdr-2')">
         <Header name="hdr-2">val-2</Header>
      </xsl:if>
      <!--
         more xsl:if if you want to consider more missing headers.
      -->
      <xsl:copy-of select="Header"/>
   </Headers>
</xsl:template>

(this is not tested)

This would prefix your new headers (that you thought were missing) before the 
existing ones.
