Problem with the document() function

Hi,

I am jammed with a problem in a transformation sheet that uses the
document() function.

In a template , the <xsl:apply-templates select="document(@xlink:href)"/>
tell the XSLT engine to parse and add the XML tree to the actual XML tree.
This operation seems to be OK and the included document tree is inserted in
the right element.

In the XSLT transformation sheet, all elements that are not
<xstyle:component....> elements are simply copied to the resultant output.
The <xstyle:component...> element is converted into something else. The
included document contains <xstyle:topic....> element that are to be
transformed into something else too. The problem is that the content of the
included XML document is copied but the <xstyle:topic..> elements are not
transformed. I can't find the bug and maybe I too tired or do not see the
obvious, but I do not see the faulty constructs.

Here is (below this text) the XSLT transformation sheet. As you will notice,
certain <xstyle:component...> elements trigger the processing of external
documents. The problem is that these external documents contain
<xstyle:netfolder...> or <xstyle:topic....> elements that are not processed
by the <xsl:template match="xstyle:netfolder"> or the <xsl:template
match="xstyle:topic[@xlink:type='simple']">, instead all elements of the
included document are processed by the <xsl:template match="*|@*|text()">
template.

many thanks for your help
