As previously indicated, all depends on how the code is structured,
whether you override the built-in templates.

If you use e.g.

B  <xsl:template match="/"><root><xsl:apply-templates
select="/record/adrRecord"/></root></xsl:template>

then the processor processes the /record/adrRecord element(s). How
exactly depends on matching templates, if you have your own one matching
adrRecords it all depends on whether that template processes its child
nodes with a further xsl:apply-templates.

If you don't have your own template matching that element type, the
built-in templates kick in (unless overridden) and process the children
of adrRecord (and as you noted with an earlier problem, copy text nodes
through).
