No this isn't true (not with a conformant XSLT 1.0 processor, anyway). If no
template rule matches a node, the built-in template rule kicks in, and does
an <xsl:apply-templates/> to its child nodes automatically.
But the statement is true, IIRC, for Microsoft IE5 1998 XSL, as this is one
of the many XSLT features it didn't implement.
