RE: [xsl] Edit text-nodes with XSLT 2.0

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Surprisingly, node() and text() have the same priority - this is true in
both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0.

It's also true in both 1.0 and 2.0 that it's a "recoverable error" to have
two template rules that match the same node with the same priority.
Different XSLT processors are allowed to treat "recoverable errors"
differently: they can report the error, or recover, in this case by choosing
whichever template rule comes last. Saxon by default gives you a warning
message and then takes the recovery action. If you want it to take the
recovery action silently, use the -w0 flag.

So the difference here is not one between XSLT 1.0 and 2.0, it's a
difference between the ways that Xalan and Saxon implement the specs.

It's a good idea to fix this error by setting an explicit priority on the
match="text()" template (or both).
