user defined templates

In XSLT can we define our own template names ie creating templates where the template name isn't a name of a node!
This would be so useful to me!

...

<p>will it use my template</p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="MyTemplate" />

...

<xsl:template match="MyTemplate">
Look its worked!
</xsl:template>

Yes you can:

Code:

<xsl:call-template name="MyTemplate"/>

<xsl:template name="MyTemplate">
    Look its worked!
</xsl:template>

Genius!

I've been searching in google for user-defined tempates etc and call just didn't come up!

Thanks
