Ok, i understand that the two expressions are equivalent, but still
don't understand why in my xsl only the three <menu> directly under the
root are matched by the template...

giving the same 8 results?
On its own it will give no results at all. It just says use this
template if you apply nodes to a node that matches "menu" (note that a
match attribute takes a pattern not an XPath expression.) So it depends
on how often you call xsl:apply-templates with a select attribute
that selects these nodes.
