Well, it depends on your source and stylesheet. Also, I'm confused about your
terminology: "... from within the <xsl:apply-template> of 'A1'..." Do you mean
the template that generates A1, or the one that matches A1? Anyhow, say you
have source

<foo>

and you stylesheet looks like

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <A1/>
  <A2>
</xsl:template>

You'll end up with

<A1/>
<A2>

You should show us more of your source and stylesheet, to show what
limitations you have.
