  Personnally, I think that two basic things helped me a lot
to understand templates.  The first one is a little picture
in the beginning of the Michael's book showing a piece of
XML as a tree of nodes (the same way teachers draw trees in
basic algorithms courses).  The second one is thinking about
template rules as a dictionnary of rules the processor can
look throught and apply to nodes.

  Actually I think this is still today more or less how I
think about XSLT processing (at the very high-level
processing level): a set of trees seen throught XDM and a
set of template rules, the processor pick the first node to
process, and processing this first node is the only thing it
will do.
