It does not behave as you say, which I have found by test and  Dimitre
as well.  That makes me think that you are seeing the results of the
built-in default template rather than of your own template.  In turn,
that would mean that you are not actually invoking your own template at
all.  If you have not already figured out how to get what you want, you
should include your stylesheet (or its relevant parts if it is long) and
the xml file your were using to test it.
