For example, if you were to map an XSLT program to, say, a Java program, what

I agree with David, that "template is a function and apply templates
is function application". By 'function application', I think, David
means a "function call" ...
Perhaps asking how an XSLT construct maps to a Java construct is wrong, since
XSLT is a > rule-based language and Java is not. Do you agree?
The 'programming abstractions' (which is something like a "rule based"
programming system) that XSLT provides to a 'XSLT programmer', are
different in nature, than 'programming abstractions' (which is an
object oriented, imperative programming system) provided by Java, to a
'Java programmer'.
