I'm afraid that it looks as though this problem is down to a bug in
the XSLT processor that you're using. The best course of action would
be to upgrade to a processor that doesn't exhibit the bug, for example
Xalan 2.5.1, but I understand that you can't do that...
To work around the bug, you could try adding
exclude-result-prefixes="xsl" to the <xsl:stylesheet> element in
inc.ixsl to see if that has any effect.
Or you could try generating the elements using <xsl:element> rather
than literal result elements; i.e. use:
<ixsl:template name="my_step_one_template">
<ixsl:element name="tr">
<ixsl:element name="td">
<ixsl:attribute name="bgcolor">#666699</xsl:attribute>
<ixsl:element name="b">
Some text output by step one
</ixsl:element>
</ixsl:element>
</ixsl:element>
</ixsl:template>
Or you could try generating <xsl:element> instructions in
intermediate.xsl:
<ixsl:template name="my_step_one_template">
<xsl:element name="tr">
<xsl:element name="td">
<xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">#666699</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:element name="b">
Some text output by step one
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</ixsl:template>

The my_step_two_template *is* being called here -- otherwise you
wouldn't get the <p> element after the second <tr> element. You might,
though, get problems if you have XSLT instructions within the <tr>
element -- it depends on what the buggy processor outputs when you
generate XSLT instructions within the <tr> element as generated by
my_step_one_template in inc.ixsl.
By the way, why are you using disable-output-escaping in:
> <xsl:template name="my_step_two_template">
> <xsl:param name="text" />
> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><p></xsl:text>
> <xsl:value-of select="$text" />
> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></p></xsl:text>
> </xsl:template>
When you would get exactly the same output from a literal result
element:
<xsl:template name="my_step_two_template">
<xsl:param name="text" />
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$text" />
</p>
</xsl:template>
Cheers,
