There is no instruction
<xsl:apply-template />
it is spelt
<xsl:apply-templates />
But if you aren't seing a proper error message for this, then you haven't got your environment set up correctly. Perhaps you are just trying to run transformations in the browser? That's about the worst possible debugging environment there is, though even there, if you set the right options you can get better error messages than this.
