i guess that <xsl:apply-templates select="self::elem" mode="other"/>
is same as <xsl:if test="self::elem"><xsl:apply-templates
select="."....
i prefer use <xsl:next-match/> instead <xsl:apply-templates select="."
mode="...."

So instead of:

you have
<xsl:apply-templates select="self::elem" mode="other"/>
and instead of:
.//whatever
you have:
self::elem//whatever
While it seemed a little odd to start with, their argument of it helps
locate where you are (especially when . is far away from the match
pattern that's normally used to discover the current node) is
beginning to grow on me...
