With one big exception: both templates do not do apply-templates, 
meaning that it is not possible to "override" with another template, 
such as match="text()", to catch a child element or text node. Writing 
it this way you should only do if you do not plan on processing the 
children in any way, i.e., if you want to delete everything, including 
the children of a node.

The course that Dimitre showed is a very good one, with a good pace and 
clear examples, and the first X or so minutes is free, so you can try 
first and buy later.

Cheers,
