I find that when rendering an entire HTML page from XML source that matching
the root is the easiest and less prone to getting lost within the XML :)
 

<xsl:template match="/">
  <table>
    <tr><th>data1</th><th>data2</th></tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="slideshow/slide">
      <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="data1"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="data2"/></td>
      </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
<xsl:template>


But either should work fine.
