Ah, in that way. Yes, you are very right ;)
I *always* start my new template with something like:

<xsl:template match="/" name="main" >
   <xsl:apply-templates select="specify/starting/point/here" />
</xsl:template>


which gives me a clear starting point for the tree walk in any 
situation. I didn't realize that the OP did not have such a 
root-matching template.
