It is covered by the standard: "It is an error if this leaves more than one matching template rule [ie if more than one matching template rule have exactly the same priority]. An XSLT processor may signal the error; if it does not signal the error, it must recover by choosing, from amongst the matching template rules that are left, the one that occurs last in the stylesheet." Section 5.5 of the XSLT spec, at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict Linda XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
