Is it valid to design a stylesheet which depends on the order in which

No, the order makes no difference (except when recovering from an error)
It is an error to have two templates that match a mode with the same
priority.
Where more than one template could match, I have always set the order of
the templates since the second always seems to take precidence over the
first. Now I realize it is the wrong approach.
For instance, match="*" and match="*[b]" could both apply
to an element containing a <b> element.
Both patterns match such an element but only the *[b] template will be
invoked as *[b] has a higher default priority than *. You can override
the default priority by going priority="123" for any number that you
choose.
Very cool. I did not know that one could apply priorities to
templates. That just makes life a whole lot easier.
Thank you.
Chris.
