RE: apply-templates Q

[sara dot mitchell at ps dot ge dot com]

Well, if the path is always data/Dates/Date it is MUCH faster
to simply select that rather than using the '//' syntax:

<xsl:apply-templates select="data/Dates/Date"/>

But if Dates/Date can occur at several levels, you can still get 
only the Date inside Dates (and not inside Weeks) using this: 

<xsl:apply-templates select="//Dates/Date"/>
