I just spent too much time completely puzzled about why a particular template
was not producing correct/expected output before realizing that in many cases
the template was not matching anything -- because some time ago I had added a
mode to certain instances of <xsl:template> and <xsl:apply-templates> without
being sure to adjust other templates in the stylesheet.
Adding mode="#all" to my failing template fixed the problem.
Obviously one could prevent many such problems by checking for the existence of
@mode in a stylesheet before working with it. Remembering always to do that is
the problem. Any other suggestions? (I guess one could make a habit of adding an
<xsl:message> to the template matching the root to warn that the template is
using modes.)
