In other words, I use the template matching the root node to start
processing using a particular mode. This arrangement makes it easy
to combine stylesheets.

Would you then have another mode for print output via xsl-fo Jeni?

I'd have a different *stylesheet* to get XSL-FO.

OK. I see below that you are modularising for future use;
I couldn't see any benefit initially in putting the processing
in modes. This makes it clear.



When I wanted to filter-and-create-HTML, I'd create a third stylesheet
that imported both the *2html and filter stylesheet, and had a
template matching the root node that would look like:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="filtered">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="doc" mode="filter" />
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($filtered)/*"
                       mode="html" />
</xsl:template>


Minimal re-writing too. If the processing is general purpose
this must be quite efficient in the longer term.

Thanks Jeni.
