John,
I can't tell whether your message is recent since it's labeled as July 31
2003, which hasn't happened yet in my mailer. :->
But Lars has already provided an excellent answer, so I suggest you dig
into what he says. The bottom line is that you need to take a closer look
at the XSLT processing model (don't just guess: study!) to see how
templates are matched for processing, when they fire, and what
<xsl:apply-templates/> does.
The processing model is well documented in a number of places: Mike Kay's
book, Jeni Tennison's Beginning book, many other excellent books, the XSLT
Recommendation (http://w3.org/TR/xslt) itself, and in the archives of this
list.
Cheers,
Wendell
