Jeni,
This solution is nice because its layering of stylesheets (using the
xsl:import mechanism) mirrors the layering of Andrew's presumed use case,
where someone has gone in after the file creation and arbitrarily scattered
@mark attributes around.
I don't know if that's deeply significant, but it is interesting, and
prompts one to notice a class of problems (namely those where you need two
templates to fire on the same node, one to address one layer, another to
address a layer "on top") that can be addressed using this feature of
xsl:apply-imports. Surprise: it works as intended. And that class turns out
to be broader than just customizing standard stylesheets. (Like the class
of problems addressed by keys, which is broader than cross-referencing.)
Cheers,
Wendell

Actually, this is a situation xsl:apply-imports can actually be useful!
Have your general templates, each dealing with individual nodes in one
stylesheet (I'll call it base.xsl).
Then create another stylesheet that *imports* that base stylesheet:
