Thanks for everyone's responses. It has definitely helped deepen and refine my understanding of XSLT. I hope I haven't generated any ill will with my vigorous responses. I've been following XSLT for some time now and have been frustrated by its slow adoption in the web application realm and am looking for ways to improve that situation. I still think that it is helpful for beginners to think of the '/' template as the "layout" or "controller" template. Again remember my web application / HTML focus not real complex XML documents. I have been convinced though that once a person understands how to use the '/' template it would be useful to quickly migrate them towards moving element formatting into their own templates using modes as you suggest, while keeping the '/' template for controlling the overall layout/organization of the document. I think this maintains the smooth learning curve I trying to achieve. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.
