Isn't this identical to the one above? Anyhow, calling a template does not change the current node, even if the template being called has a match attribute. You could do

  <xsl:template match="/">
    the main body
    <xsl:apply-templates name="root/output/data"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="data">
    <b>Auftrag #<xsl:value-of select="data/ordernr" /> (<xsl:value-of select="data/shopname" />)</b>
  </xsl:template>

If I understood what you were after.

Cheers,
