Whilst I very very rarely use xsl:apply-imports, there is a sense of it 
being slighty misnamed I agree.

Neither xsl:next-match nor xsl:apply-imports are the same as 
xsl:apply-templates, which changes the context focus to (most usually) 
somewhere else. Both of them have some equivalence to super() in OO 
(differing of course in the scope from when the super() is sought) which 
you wouldn't expect to change 'this' for, would you?
