<xsl:template match="pattern">	normal <xsl:.. starting, processor will process this according to the specs above
<mine:template> <value-of select="." /> </mine:template>	processor looks at the "mine" namespaces.txt for our tag definitions
</xsl:template>	normal closing </xsl:.. tag
</xsl:stylesheet>	closes our <xsl: stylesheet .. tag
