You've got one template that matches aggregate elements, and another that
matches errorresponse elements. Priorities only come into play when a node
matches more than one template rule, and that's not the case here - there's
no overlap. If you apply-templates on an aggregate, the first rule fires; if
you apply-templates on an errorresponse (with the right ancestry) the second
rule fires. Priority and precedence don't affect it.

Subject: [xsl] xsl template priority / xsl template precedence
Hi,
seem to be stuck on this one. I'm using the following template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="aggregate" priority="5">
matched aggregate
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="aggregate/responses/errorresponse"
priority="1000">
matched error response
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and the following input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<aggregate>
<responses>
<errorresponse>
some error
</errorresponse>
</responses>
</aggregate>
I'd assume that given the priority attributes on the
templates, the match="aggregate/responses/errorresponse"
would get chosen by the XSLT processor. However, the result
is that - no matter what I try - the processor always uses
the match="aggregate" template also that thing has lower
priority and is also less specific than the other one.
Anyone any ideas why that happens? I tried different
processors, all with the same result.
