But see also:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict
"It is possible for a source node to match more than one template rule. The
template rule to be used is determined as follows:..."
"It is an error if this leaves more than one matching template rule. An XSLT
processor may signal the error; ..."
I understand that xsltproc/libxslt acts according to this ("may signal...").
In previous versions xsltproc/libxslt "recovered" from such a situation. It
would be good to know the reason why Daniel changed this.
