Comment:

 Hi,
 A new bug appears following this modification: if a shortcode is used as
 the attribute of an element present inside an enclosing shortcode, then
 it's treated before the enclosing shortcode itself!

 Example:
 {{{
 [posts type="page"]                     <— loop for each page
         <a href="[permalink]">link</a>  <— a link to the current page
 within the loop
 [/posts]
 }}}

 In the code above, the [permalink] shortcode is treated first and is
 replaced with the main page permalink, and not the permalink of the page
 being looped…

 Then, the [post] shortcode loops on the resolved content, and not on the
 original mask:
 {{{
 function ShortcodePosts ($atts, $content) {
         $query = new WP_Query ($atts);
         while ($query->have_posts ()) {
                 $query->the_post ();
                 $output .= do_shortcode ($content);     // <— no more
 shortcode to call
         }
 }
 }}}

 The solution would be to ignore all the shortcodes present in enclosing
 shortcodes, even if they are used as HTML parameters.
 (not sure to be very clear)
