another xpath question

I have another xpath question for you :)
If I have the following simplified XML snippet:
===
<xref xrefid="AA140110301W10AA" xidtype="TEXT"/>
<title>
Renew LP Piston Seal (Fig 5.5.1
<xref xrefid="F5.5.1" xidtype="FIGURE">) </xref>
</title>
===
and the following xsl templates:
<xsl:template match="xref">
(xref)
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
I get the following output:
(xref)
Renew LP Piston Seal (Fig 5.5.1)
It matches the first xref correctly, but not the second xref that is within
the <title> tags. If I modify the title template to:
<xsl:template match="title">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
I get the output:
(xref)
Renew LP Piston Seal (Fig 5.5.1)
(xref)
Whereas the output I want is
(xref)
Renew LP Piston Seal (Fig 5.5.1(xref)) //the (xref) will be a graphic...
Why is it moving the (xref) outside of the (fig) brackets?? And, why will
it not match the inner <xref> without calling apply-templates? I thought it
would look for a template match whenever it encountered a tag.
thanks in advance
