[xsl] Applying a Default Template

[Neil Beddoe <Neil.Beddoe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI,

I'm transforming some data into XHTML and I was wondering if there's a way to
apply a template that adds a default format before applying another template
that applies more specific format.

For example

<results >
    <row>
        <dateTime title="Sent">2009-07-15T14:31:00Z</dateTime>
        <instrument title="Stock" instrumentID="6188" restricted="false">HOLN
VX Equity</instrument>
        <price title="Price"> 66.1</price>
        <percentChange title="PctChg">0</percentChange>
        <money title="Order">6320000</money>
        <proportion title="Filled">0</proportion>
        <money title="Order Size">0</money>
        <price title="Limit">63.2</price>
    </row>
    <row>.
</results>

I need to transform every child of <row> into a <td>.</td> element.  I'll also
want to apply a further template depending on the type of the child.

At the moment I do it like this:
    <xsl:template match="row">
        <tr>
            <xsl:apply-templates>
        </tr>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="instrument">
    <td>
        <span>
            <xsl:attribute name="class">
                <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
            </xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </span>
    </td>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="money">
        <td>
       <span class="money" onclick="ShowMeMoney()">
           <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       </span>   
      </td>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="price">
        <td>
                .etc etc.
        </td>
    </xsl:template>


It  seems inefficient to have to put a <td> in every one of my individual
templates.  Is there any way I can apply a template that puts in the <td> tags
for every child of <row> and then applies the individual templates for the
types of children of <row>?


What I'd like to be able to do is something like this:
<xsl:call-template name="applyTD">
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:call-template>

But I know you can't.

Sorry if the above isn't clear.
