Re: Matching templates, named templates or for-each? My rules of

Dunno really: perhaps because with <xsl:apply-templates> there’s always the chance that some other template might be invoked accidentally (I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve forgotten to put the right mode on an <xsl:apply-templates>).

I agree about named templates being used less in XSLT 2.0: it’s not just a matter of having functions instead, but XSLT 2.0 being more powerful anyway, and therefore being able to do much more without resorting to recursion.
