RE: XSL selection of apply templates

<xsl:apply-templates> selects a set of nodes to process.

For each of these nodes, the system searches for a template rule that
matches the node. If there is more than one, it chooses the one with highest
priority and precedence.

Sorry if this is a very short explanation but you will find a longer one in
my book....
