Re: [xsl] xsl-call template problem

The named template doesnt have a match attribute .. and xsl:call-templates 
is used to call a named template.. match attribute  is significant only when 
you call xsl:apply-templates

more explaination from Evan Lenz..

The only time the match attribute is ever significant is when
xsl:apply-templates is called (explicitly or from the built-in template
rules). The only time the name attribute is ever significant is when
xsl:call-template is called (only explicitly). The remaining attribute that
you can use is mode, which is only ever significant when there is a match
attribute (and when xsl:apply-templates is called).

In conclusion, named templates and template rules have orthogonal
functionality. No conflicts result from overloading a template for both. In
other words, adding a match attribute to a named template won't break
xsl:call-template, and adding a name attribute to a template rule won't
break xsl:apply-templates.

Hope this helps
