Re: [docbook-apps] XSL & DocBook Question

The difference is that not all templates recursively use apply-templates on
all children.  Some template bodies apply-templates to selected children.
In the case of inlinemediaobject (and mediaobject), using apply-templates on
all children would be a mistake, because a mediaobject can contain several
images, only one of which is selected for output. So the template for
inlinemediaobject first selects a single imageobject, and then does
apply-templates only on that.
