Not sure I entirely understand the question. But the context (e.g the
context node) on return from apply-templates is exactly the same as the
context before. Any instruction (such as xsl:value-of or xsl:for-each)
that appears after the apply-templates will give exactly the same result
as if it appeared before it.

Not really filtering. Apply-templates selects a set of nodes (by
default, the children of the current node), and for each of them, it
finds the best matching template rule, and executes that template rule
with the selected node as the current node. Of course, if you have a
template rule that does nothing, then you have effectively filtered out
the nodes that it matches.
