RE: [xsl] Templates with same name but different argument param names

I apoligize to all for the inconvenience.
I have a tendancy to treat the list as a sounding board which is an
incorrect use.

The XSLT 1.0 spec doesn't say very much in section 6, Named Templates

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#named-templates

, but it does say this:

It is an error if a stylesheet contains more than one template with the
same name and same import precedence.

You indicated you weren't sure whether this was a valid question for the
list. I think that before asking *any* question on the list, you should
take some steps to find out the answer from reference sources. If you
can't find the answer, then it becomes a valid question.
