Order of matching in multiple style-specifications...

[Norman Walsh <norm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get my head around this...

Imagine that I have a driver and two files, a and b.  In the
driver I say <style-specification use="a b"> (and all the
required entities and <external-specifications> are correct).
And there are no modes in use.

If (element baz ...) occurs in "a" then (element (bar baz) ...)
in "b" will never get used.  Right?

If I have (element (bar baz) ...) in "a" and 
"(element (foo bar baz) ...)  in "b", will 
"(element (foo bar baz))" ever get used?  No, is my guess.

If I have (element (foo bar baz) ...) in "a" and 
"(element (bar baz) ...)  in "b", will the right thing happen?
Will the definition in "a" get called for <foo><bar><baz> and
the definition in "b" get called for <fred><bar><baz>?

Thanks for any insight...
