Serialization is separate from result tree building, which is 
different from source tree matching.

Matching on the root node *of the source tree* declares the 
construction template of nodes *for the result tree*.  Serialization 
guides how the result tree is realized as angle brackets.

The <xsl:output> defines aspects of serialization of the result tree, 
regardless of how the result tree is built.

I hope this helps.
