Firstly, this shouldn't be an error in an XSLT processor conforming to
the current working draft.  According to Section 5.5, Conflict
Resolution for Template Rules, "FILE" has priority 0, and
"FILE[@name='yy']" has priority 0.5.

Assign a priority greater than the default to the matches with
predicates:

<xsl:template match="FILE">
 
<xsl:template match="FILE[@name='yy']" priority="1">

<xsl:template match="FILE[@name='xx']" priority="1">

<FILE name="yy"/> and <FILE name="xx"/> will each match one of the
higher-priority template rules, and any other <FILE> element will
match the template rule with the unadorned "FILE" pattern.
