Two points:
1. For any template rule T to be fired, two conditions must apply:
(a) someone has to call apply-templates selecting a particular node N
(b) Node N has to match the match pattern for rule T.
2. The pattern match="node()" is short for match="child::node()". So it
doesn't match all nodes, it only matches nodes that are children of some
parent. That is, it matches elements, text nodes, comments, and processing
instructions, but not attributes, document (=root) nodes, or namespaces.

Subject: [xsl] matching question
Hello,
I have a question about the pattern "node()" when used in a
template "match" Attribute. I thought that it would always
match all nodes in the source file, but it matches only all
nodes when the corresponding template is called from
apply-templates. If it stands alone only the "root" node is
matched. What's the reason for that behavior? Is it because
the first matching element is the root element and the others
are descendants of it?
regards,
Garvin
