Hi Andrew,
Thanks for this additional information. I am still trying to learn to view
problems from a non-C++ perspective. Makes my head hurt :-)

No worries... the whole template matching process takes a while to
get, it did for me anyway.

A general guide is:

- don't use xsl:for-each, use xsl:apply-templates

- don't use named templates, use xsl:apply-templates with a mode

- if a template just contains a choose/when, separate out the branches
into individual templates

- instead of xsl:value-of use xsl:apply-templates

- one large template is bad, lots of specific small templates is good.
