Re: match taste

Sorry, you are thinking of a "select" statement, not a template match pattern.  
When you say <xsl:template match="...">, you are NOT saying, "search the 
entire tree for these elements."  You are saying, "use this template for 
elements that match this pattern."  There is a huge difference between 
selecting and matching, and, in the case of matching, there really is NO 
difference between the patterns in question.
