template precedence

A trap for young players, like me (document is the top node in the input XML
document).

Original XSL (in part):
======================

<xsl:template match="document">
...<xsl:apply-templates />...
</

<xsl:template match = "*">
<xsl:choose>
...
/>
/>

New XSL (same part):
===================

<xsl:template match="document">
...<xsl:apply-templates />...
</

<xsl:template match="*[@mark='Y']">
...
</

<xsl:template match="*[not(@mark='Y')]">
...
</

========

I was a bit taken aback to find that "*[]" takes priority over "document".
This might be according to spec, but it's still a bit counter-intuitive,
isn't it!
