Apply templates to the current node (self::node())

Apply-templates to all the children of current node which have the same
principal node type. If you're processing element, that means - process all
sub-elements.

> <xsl:apply-templates />

process all the children nodes.

You also have to mind namespaces and attribute and namespace nodes (which
are not "children" nodes).
