Implementing a "State Machine" in XSL?

From: Michael Stum <devnull@----.-->

Hello,

i need to use XSL to truncate a HTML fragment, keeping the tags intact.
So for example, i want to truncate this HTML to include ~15 visible 
characters:

<b>This is a <span style="color: #888">very long</span> Text</b>

The result should be:
<b>This is a <span style="color: #888">very </span></b>

As you see, i ignore the tags and count to 15. But then i may have open 
tags, so i close the open tags (which means i somehow need to keep track 
of which tags are still open).

In conventional programming, i would use a state machine for this, but I 
do not know enough about XSLT to do that.

Any hints?
