Definitions and usages
The element can be applied to template rules from the import style sheet.
The template rules in the import style sheet have a lower priority than the template rules in the main style sheet. If you want to use a template rule in the import style sheet instead of an equivalent rule in the main style sheet, you'll use the element of the .lt;xsl:apply-imports.

Suppose we have a style sheet called "standard.xsl" that contains template rules for message elements:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="message">
<h2><xsl:apply-templates/></h2>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Another style sheet can import "standard.xsl" and modify the message element as follows:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:import href="standard.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="message">
<div style="border:solid blue">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The result is a message that is converted into a form element:
