That is because you have no template named "p".  Having a template match on
p is not the same as having a template __named__ p.  On the other hand, why
not use <xsl:apply-templates select='p'/>?  The way you are using it there
wouldn't be any advantage to call-template>.

In fact, the way you are using it won't work anyway, because the "bu"
elements do not have any child elements named "p", which you example seems
to be trying to find.
