>There are 3 mode for pattern nodes operation in XSL:
 
>Template Definition: 
>  <xsl:template match="pattern"> ... </xsl:template>
>Select Operation:
>  <xsl:apply-template select="pattern"/>
>  <xsl:for-each select="pattern"
>Conditional Test:
>  <xsl:when/if test="pattern"> ... <xsl:when/if>
 
Not quite.

<xsl:apply-templates> and <xsl:for-each> take an XPath expression (not a
pattern), which must return a node-set.

<xsl:if> and <xsl:when> take an XPath expression (not a pattern), which is
converted to a boolean.

XSLT patterns are used only in <xsl:template>, <xsl:key>, and <xsl:number>.
