The entire text data content of the node (in parse order) is the text from the source tree. To illustrate this, I've written a stylesheet for both XT and IE5b2, and the results are noted below. Interestingly, MSXSL accepts no specification of a match attribute and appears to match on everything when no value is specified, yet Appendix A of the WD requires the attribute: <!ELEMENT xsl:template %template;> <!ATTLIST xsl:template match %pattern; #REQUIRED priority %priority; #IMPLIED mode NMTOKEN #IMPLIED %space-att; > Looking at the XT and IE5b2 results, I see that both are correctly interpreting that the value-of is calculated from of *all* of the subelements of the node, not triggering template rules on subelements (see element <testb>). Also note that with no match attribute IE5b2 will process *all* nodes (the output shows the processing of the XML Declaration), while with the match="*" attribute the WD Production [12] is documented that "*" represents elements, so therefore the IE5b2 no-attribute interpretation can't be documented as "*". I hope this helps. ............
