Why don't all XSLT templates get executed at once?

Refer to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1613454/retrieving-one-element-and-filter-by-another

In the above linked posting, I don't understand why the two template blocks don't get executed upon in the incoming XML at the same time. As far I can can see, the XSL risks the second template executing for every Document element whether it is called with apply-templates or not.

Could someone explain this to my stifled brain, please?

Thanks,

Matt.
