I'm confused about how the priorities of templates are computed.

Priorities are only in play when you are matching the same node in two template rules.


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="*" priority="1">
<xsl:message>in first</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>


    <xsl:template match="/" priority="10">
        <xsl:message>in second</xsl:message>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Priority is irrelevant in the above stylesheet because when the processor starts and pushes the root node at your stylesheet, only your second template rule will match it.


Your first template rule matches any element ... it doesn't match the root node.

I hope this helps.
