Re: [xsl] dynamically applying templates

Thanks for sticking with this Wendell!  However, and maybe I'm being 
dense, if I look at this:

I don't think this is what I'm looking for.  I don't need to create the 
mods:titleInfo output; I need to process the mods:titleInfo element 
that is already there in my input source.

input --> 	file.xsl  <-- config
		      |
		      |
		      v
		 output

So, you have the right config file structure below, but let me add an 
additional element to illustrate.

A minimal input document then could be:

<doc>
   <mods xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3";>
     <name type="personal">
        <namePart type="given">Jane</namePart>
        <namePart type="family">Doe</namePart>
     </name>
     <titleInfo>
        <title>Main Title</title>
        <subTitle>Subtitle</subTitle>
     </titleInfo>
   </mods>
</doc>

Note, then, that order of elements in the input file is different than 
that specified in the config file, which is saying output should be:

	Main Title: Subtitle, Jane Doe

Why "wrong name"?
