apply-template doesn't hit template

Hello all,

I have an embarrassing simple apply-templates/template problem. Here's my 
source document:

<kcmtests>

<kcm kcfg="true" [...]>
[...]
</kcm>

<kcm kcfg="false" [...]>
[...]
</kcm>

<kcm kcfg="false" [...]>
[...]
</kcm>

</kcmtests>

There's 21 kcm elements, all of them have "kcfg='true'".

<xsl:template select="kcm">
        <xsl:message>template hits</xsl:message>
        <!-- This message is never seen -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="//kcm[(_at_)kcfg='true']"/>
        <xsl:message>
                <xsl:value-of select="count(//kcm[(_at_)kcfg='true'])"/>
                <!-- This reports 0, which is correct -->
        </xsl:message>

        <xsl:apply-templates select="//kcm[(_at_)kcfg='false']"/>
        <xsl:message>
                <xsl:value-of select="count(//kcm[(_at_)kcfg='false'])"/>
                <!-- This reports 21, which is correct -->
        </xsl:message>
</xsl:template>


What I want to achieve is to in one place select entries(the root template), 
and then with the first template format them for representation -- but it 
doesn't hit. Instead, the selected items(the 21 kcm) is printed right out in 
the output(their content, no elements).

I have two questions:

1. Why doesn't the template hit?

2. Why are the content simply sent to the output? Is it because I selected 
them, but no template matched?

The above XSL is that simple, I've commented out everything else for testing 
purposes.


Thanks in advance,

                        Frans
