I've got master.xsl which is imported by local.xsl. local.xsl also
includes global.xsl. global.xsl, which contains an error-matching
template in order to alert me in the case of ambiguous/non-matches. I
know several of you use a similar template to catch template match
problems.

My problem is that when included into local.xsl, the error template
takes over all matches. However, when the templates from master.xsl
are placed into local.xsl, all is fine. Also, when the error template
is removed entirely, everything matches as expected.

Is the error matching template causing all templates in master.xsl not
to be imported?

Import "global.xsl" then import "master.xsl".

Currently, the imported templates in 'master.xsl" have a lower "import
precedence" [1] than the templates in 'local.xsl', and the templates in
'global.xsl' have the higher precedence because they are effectively [2]
part of 'local.xsl'.

Of the templates that you show, the match on "node()" has the same
priority [3] as the match on "*", so when you put the templates in
'master.xsl' into 'local.xsl', it probably only works because the match
on "node()" is effectively later in the stlesheet.
