[xsl] matching question

[Garvin Riensche <g.riensche@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a question about the pattern "node()" when used in a template 
"match" Attribute. I thought that it would always match all nodes in the 
source file, but it matches only all nodes when the corresponding 
template is called from apply-templates. If it stands alone only the 
"root" node is matched. What's the reason for that behavior? Is it 
because the first matching element is the root element and the others 
are descendants of it?

regards,
Garvin
