[xsl] Re: [saxon] Generative XSLT

[Andrew Welch <andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx>]

(I've just replied to the xsl-list as cross-posting should be avoided)

When you apply templates to that variable, you will apply them to the
document node, so it will look for a root matching template.

To see that in action, add a mode to the apply-templates, and add a
root matching template with that mode and you should see that it gets
applied.
