Thanks to everybody for the hints.

It's not clear to me why I'd use call-template vs. apply-templates.
I think I understand the push/pull model, and being old-school I think
I prefer the pull model.  Especially after seeing the for-each trick Michael Kay
posted. It makes both templates exactly the same except for the
match/name attribute difference.
