Okay, I've found the culprit. If I use *just* the above fragment in my
xslt stylesheet, then it works. However, if I add this:



    <xsl:template match = "listitem/para">
	<block left-indent = "3">
             <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </block>
    </xsl:template>

Thenn it does not work. The processor applies the second template with
no predicate. 

I don't understand why this is so. I thought the templates that were
most specific got applied before the ones that were more general?
