I have copied this comment into the Bugzilla log so that it doesn't get lost
when the time comes for detailed design.

I've often thought Final and Abstract type modifiers would
be useful,
maybe now would be a good time to submit a proposal for 2.1.
There is a sketched proposal at
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5312. Feel free to
comment on it within the bugzilla thread.
This proposal is extremely important. Its incorporation into
XSLT 2.1 would provide the capability to have separately
compiled libraries (as opposed to a main stylesheet ==
"separate application") of functions.
I have a remark about making sure a specific mode in the
module cannot accidentally be selected (this is not the same
as overriden !) by an external template with
mode="#all"
The existing text ( (d) in the Description, and (f) in the
second post by Dr. Kay) does not rule out such a possibility.
In particular, there is a need that a mode with a name
defined in the module be accessible, but only *by name*, to
exteranal <xsl:apply-templates> instructions. At the same
time, any external <xsl:template> that has
mode ="#all"
should not be available for selection in a mode defined in
the specific module.
