[xsl] xsl template priority / xsl template precedence

[Ralph Rauscher <rra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

seem to be stuck on this one. I'm using the following template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">
  <xsl:template match="aggregate" priority="5">
      matched aggregate
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="aggregate/responses/errorresponse" priority="1000">
      matched error response
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and the following input:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<aggregate>
  <responses>
      <errorresponse>
          some error
      </errorresponse>
  </responses>
</aggregate>

I'd assume that given the priority attributes on the templates, the 
match="aggregate/responses/errorresponse" would get chosen by the XSLT 
processor. However, the result is that - no matter what I try - the 
processor always uses the match="aggregate" template also that thing has 
lower priority and is also less specific than the other one.

Anyone any ideas why that happens? I tried different processors, all 
with the same result.
