Teaching XSLT - Default Tempalte Rules

Over the last couple of months I have had the occassion to consult
several different sets of XsLT teaching materials. Many of the authors are
regular posters to the list.

Am therefore soliciting opinions.

At what point in a presentation to XSLT-neophytes should one point out the
behaviour of the default template rules? Or more generally is there a
better order of presentation to help learners, especially those coming
from HTML and SGML, move towards thinking in terms of nodes instead of
elements?
