when applying templates it is possible to filter out unwanted
nodes in a
number of ways, one is by putting a predicate on the
apply-templates command
and use modes if you have more than one filter. Another is to
apply-templates to all nodes and put a predicate on the
template match -
this avoids the use of modes.
Can anyone ... provide advantages of doing the latter?
It's more resilient to unexpected input, e.g. as a result of schema changes.
