Remarks

The <xsl:for-each> element establishes the context for iteration; the XSLT transformation instructions within this loop are to be applied to the selected nodes. Each source element selected by <xsl:for-each> becomes a new context against which any pattern matching within the <xsl:for-each> occurs.
