Hi Osman,
Always use xsl:apply-templates, unless you see that this requires you to
create a new mode that will be used once only, in which case you can use
xsl:for-each instead as "syntax sugar".
It's not quite that simple, but almost ...
I strongly agree...
xsl:apply-templates is much richer and deeper than xsl:for-each, even
simply because we don't know what code will be applied on the nodes of
the selection -- in the general case this code will be different for
different nodes of the node-list. Also, the code that will be applied
can be written way after the xsl:apply templates was written and by
people that do not know the original author.
Cheers,
Dimitre.
P.S. Don't know why this reminds me of a statement someone made on
xml-dev that XQuery was a "superset of XSLT 2.0" ... ??
