xsl apply imports problems

Your xsl:apply-imports call will look for a template that matches the
current node (i.e. the root node) that has lower import precedence than the
current template; and there isn't one. xsl:apply-imports always processes
the current node, not its children.

The spec doesn't say explicitly what happens when you use
<xsl:apply-imports/> and there is no template rule of lower import
precedence that matches the current node. I thought this was fixed in the
errata but it appears not. The consensus, if I recall correctly, was that it
should invoke the built-in template rule. If that's happening here, the
built-in rule for the root would process the children of the root, using the
highest-precedence rule available.
