RE: [xsl] XSLT 1: template inside of template?

Agreed, but I don't think she was being quite that devious. Probably she just
copied one template and mistakenly pasted it inside another, and didn't
realize it until I pointed it out. I just hope she doesn't conclude that I'm
the one that made the mistake!

Thanks guys.

Yeah, as written, that stylesheet is not legal.

OT, but any company that would play such mind games during the interview
deserves to go out of business.
