There does seem to be some dislike for recursion versus iteration in his writing. He doesn't seem to be bagging primarily on recursion in languages, just that he thinks TCO should possibly be explicit. Maybe there is something to that argument and maybe there isn't. I'm surprised that someone of his Math & CS background would not have more substantial arguments than these. Also, being a co-editor of the XML spec doesn't position someone well to criticize recursion/TCO.
