An xsl:template element represents a template rule.
Each template rule has a match pattern and a template.
The match pattern is found in the match attribute.
The template is the content of the xsl:template element.
When the pattern is matched, the template is instantiated to form a result tree fragment, which is added to the complete result tree.
Processing starts by attempting to match the root node of the document to a template rule.
There default template rules that apply when no explicit rule matches.
