[xsl] Question about xsl:apply-imports

[Bill French <french@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

xsl:import is pretty awesome, let me say that right off. But it 
sometimes yields surprising results.

I have a stylesheet called rendereddocument.xsl that imports a number of 
other stylesheets using the xsl:import instructions:

<xsl:import href="inc/baseline.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="inc/application-tabs.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="inc/fields.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="inc/search-criteria.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="inc/search-fields.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="../../override/xslt/customization.xsl"/>

in fields.xsl, I have a template defined as follows:

<xsl:template match="rm:document">
  <xsl:element name="div" namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
    <xsl:attribute name="class">
      <xsl:text>document</xsl:text>
      <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 0">
        <xsl:text> alt</xsl:text>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="rm:fields"/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

and in rendereddocument.xsl I have two templates that are defined as 
follows:

<xsl:template match="rm:document" priority="-0.1">
  <rm:content name="rendereddocument.document">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="rm:fields"/>
  </rm:content>
	
  <xsl:apply-templates select="rm:associated"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="rm:associated" priority="-0.1">
  <rm:content name="{concat('rendereddocument.associated.', 
../rm:associated/@name)}">
    <div class='component collapsible-component collapsed'>
      <div class='component-title'>
        <h3><a href='#'><xsl:value-of select="@displayName"/></a></h3>
	<ul class='component-action-list'>
	  <li class='active'><a href='#'>Showing relevant</a></li>
          <li class='last'><a href='#'>Show all</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <div class='component-part component-document-list'>
        <xsl:apply-imports/>
      </div>
    </div>
  </rm:content>
</xsl:template>

In the last template, there's an xsl:imports instruction. The element on 
which this template is matching, rm:associated, has rm:document 
children. It's my understanding that xsl:apply-imports should elect to 
apply the xsl:template defined in fields.xsl, not in 
rendereddocument.xsl. However, this isn't what's happening. Instead, the 
template matching rm:document defined in rendereddocument.xsl is being 
applied.

Any help would be most appreciated. Let me know if you need to see all 
the files. Last time, the issue was glaringly apparent from just the 
first email. ;)

Best regards,
