No, I think you've got it.  The assumption of course is that you must pass
category_id to your stylesheet when invoking the transformation, so that you
override the default value ('1.01') to display a different product's
details.  The other assumption is that category_id is unique since your
XPath expression will select all product nodes where <category_id> matches
your parameter.
