So the entire tree walk would stop at the... root element:
<xsl:template match="*"/>
<xsl:template match="non-root-element">
Can never be reached.
</xsl:template>
Ah, in that way. Yes, you are very right ;)
I *always* start my new template with something like:
<xsl:template match="/" name="main" >
<xsl:apply-templates select="specify/starting/point/here" />
</xsl:template>
which gives me a clear starting point for the tree walk in any
situation. I didn't realize that the OP did not have such a
root-matching template.
