Would it be possible to add a warning message to Saxon, like ambiguous
rule match, when one template is chosen over another purely by import
precedence (in fact, isn't this just another kind of ambiguous rule
match)?  The amount of feedback from Saxon 8.x when using XSLT 2.0 is
really helpful (my stylesheets are a lot 'tighter' now) and I think this
would be a useful addition.
