I don't think sure severity "grave" or even RC is appropriate here. If
it were only for xalan itself, the bug is surely a bug, but it is
severity "normal" as the case of recursive template invocation within
variables is not that common and can be worked around in most cases.

So I believe you set "grave" as it breaks other programs, but I failed
to find evidence of that. For instance, by checking the bug log of
openoffice.org-writer I can't find (at the time of writing) any bug
report about the inability to save into XHTML that are related to this
bug. Some goes for mediawiki output.

Hence, I'm lowering the severity of this bug to "important". If you want
to raise it again please provide evidence of misbehavior's introduced in
other Debian packages introduced by this. Also, it would be nice to mark
those packages as "affected" by this bug and mark the corresponding bugs
as blocked by this one.

Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.
