Roy: you might want to look up the description of named templates, since 
you're off-base on that point.

yinglcs: He does have a point; you'll get more and better help if you 
don't post obviously sloppy examples.

If you want the template to be executed by apply-templates matching, you 
must use match= with a match pattern. If you want it to run when you 
invoke it explicitly by name with call-template, you must use name= with 
a literal name. If you want the same template to be invoked both ways, 
you need to specify both. In this case, you seem to want it running only 
with call-template, though I don't quite see why you're doing it that way.

/features matches <features> if and only if it's the outermost element 
(child of root). Get rid of the /.
