XSL & DocBook Question

When I customize the docbook.xsl file to include :

<xsl:template match="gene|sentence|organism|cjunction|kitty">
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Why does the following properly render the 0.5 cm image, but the second 
example below does not?  It seems that the 'apply templates in the 
docbook.xsl file should make both identical?

*******************************************   This works 
****************************************

<xref linkend="figure1"/>
			<kitty>
			<link linkend="figure1">
				<inlinemediaobject>
					
						<imageobject>
							<imagedata entityref="fig1" depth="0.5cm"/>
						</imageobject>
					
				
				</inlinemediaobject>
			</link>
			</kitty>
			


*******************************************   This Does Not Work 
****************************************

<xref linkend="figure1"/>
			<link linkend="figure1">
				<inlinemediaobject>
								<kitty>

						<imageobject>
							<imagedata entityref="fig1" depth="0.5cm"/>
						</imageobject>
								</kitty>

				
				</inlinemediaobject>
			</link>
			



Cheers,
