Colin,

Just so I understand the not and DON'T structure of your explanation.

My second template is outputting the elements that DON'T have a class="stem_mc" attributes. Why is it doing that? (Don't answer that. I am asking myself that question.)

I am using saxon8. Is this the command-line option I would use?

Since you are exploring, you might find a couple of the gestalt
command-line options useful:

--suppress-default-action (which makes the processor non-conformant)
  would cause your transformation to fail.

This would alert you to the use of default template matching. Then you
could instead use:

--default-template-warning, to find out what was going on. I get this
  output for your transformation:
