I am specifying a direct path where? in the match attribute of the the first template? all the match values in all the templates in the example stylesheet in section D1 are relative paths.

i do not understand how your answer explains the difference between:
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
and:
<h1>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</h1>

I haven't seen it mentioned (though it is Monday morning and my eyes are yet a little blurry), but I think the implicit select might be throwing you a curve. I'm still learning this myself, but I believe that when you call <xsl:apply-templates/> you are actually saying something to the effect of <xsl:apply-templates select="child::node()"/>

In the above examples, you're selecting a different set of nodes each time you call apply-templates. The first one applies are relevant templates to the children of the current content node and the second tries to apply (possibly different) relevant templates to the children of that current context node. Since the call to apply-templates occurs in different templates, it's probably safe to say that the "current context node" for the first template is completely different from the other.

If you were to call apply-templates twice in a row in the same template, you would get duplicated output (first the complete output of one, then the complete output of the second, so something like "abcdeabcde", not "aabbccddee").
