Remarks
A template rule that is being used to override a template rule in an imported style sheet can use the <xsl:apply-imports> element to invoke the overridden template rule.
At any point in the processing of a style sheet, there is a current template rule. Whenever a template rule is chosen by matching a pattern, the template rule becomes the current template rule for the instantiation of the rule's template. When an <xsl:for-each> element is instantiated, the current template rule becomes null for the instantiation of the content of the <xsl:for-each> element.
<xsl:apply-imports> processes the current node using only template rules that were imported into the style sheet element containing the current template rule; the node is processed in the current template rule's mode. It is an error if <xsl:apply-imports> is instantiated when the current template rule is null.
