Does anyone have near to hand any links we can offer to Terry
describing the XSLT processing model, or "push", or template
matching, or whatever we want to call it?
I've made freely available on our web site (linked below) the
introductory chapters of our XSLT and XSL-FO books for sale as
excerpts. Go to the "Books and free excerpts" link at the right side
of the home page.
I think this should help him. It has introductory text on the
overview, the data model, the processing model, the different areas
of instructions and functions, and cross references at the back. We
do not charge for downloading the free excerpt and there is no
obligation to buy the PDF books themselves.
If no one can come up with any favorite explanations, I'll do some
more digging. We're in about Wave 12 or 14 of XSLT beginners here
(assuming we've had two waves a year or so since 1999), and this
information has been written up many times.

p.s. and there is also training! Mulberry (who Wendell works for)
and Crane (our company) are two vendors of XSL training. Lots of
coverage of push and pull in there.
p.p.s. a couple links:
