msxml parser v3.0 download
The text quoted below from the preliminary 3.0 SDK is simply a documentation
error.  Nested templates are not supported in the XSLT namespace, and we
have no intention of adding them.

and it looks as if it will soon be 110% compliant judging from the
following...

The xsl:apply-templates element may itself contain xsl:template elements, in
which case these templates are tested before templates defined elsewhere.
These templates are only available within the xsl:apply-templates and are
not visible from outside. This mechanism allows the definition of locally
scoped templates.

Depressing to see that you can design a language with so many hooks for
vendor extensibility and they still do their own thing!

Incidentally it seems document(), key(), decimal-format, strip-space /
preserve-space, preceding / following / preceding-sibling /
following-sibling, xsl:import, and xsl:apply-imports are still missing.
