    I think in the long run relying on the position of the 
    templates in the file will make your life harder, almost 
    every otherfeature in xslt is designed so that the top 
    level constructs in a stylesheet may be placed in any 
    order, re-arranged by code beautifiers, etc, When something 
    goes wrong (as in the OP's case) it is much harder to see 
    which template is being applied. 
    
    Of course in the usual case you write templates first 
    without priority but if you get a warning of a template 
    conflict I think it's always good practice to make a 
    concious decision about which one you want to win and then 
    give that one a high priority.

Which is one of my reasons for preferring Saxon?
I think it has the clearest and most explicit warnings
of all the processors I've tried.

Like Geert, I need to be told when something is wrong
before I'll fix it :-)
