Re: [xsl] Error template trumping other templates on import?

I understood that general principle, but I didn't necessarily see why
a match="*" would replace more specific matches.

Subject: [xsl] Error template trumping other templates on import?

Hello there,

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?
