You need to change the way you look at this. Remember that your XML
document, the input, has a tree structure, and the XSLT processor also wants
to output a tree structure. The processor walks through the input tree and
fires up the template that matches each element it encounters. 

So if you have: 

<document>
<header>stuff</header>
<middlepart>more</middlepart>
<footer>end</footer>
</document>

and

xsl:template match="document"
<html><head/><body><xsl:apply-templates></body></html>

and templates for header, middlepart, and footer, the xsl:apply-templates
will cause the processor to fire up the header, middlepart, and footer
templates one after the other and the output will be generated for these
elements inside the <body> element. 

Hope this helps, 
Linda
