Hi, Josh,

If you don't succeed this time around, post more of your stylesheet next 
time. When I see a named template go by with no other context, I often 
wonder whether part of the problem isn't being caused by whatever code 
calls the named template. Also, I strongly suspect that your problem could 
be more easily solved by XSLT's usual processing model of matching 
templates and the apply-templates statement rather than named templates.

In other words, I bet we can help you more if you show us more.
