Re: [xsl] xsl:mode and priorities question

I think the answer is that despite there being two xsl:mode declarations, there 
is only one mode, and the properties/attributes of that mode (such as 
on-no-match) are determined by the highest-precedence definition. In this case 
the two definitions of the mode are identical so there is no ambiguity. 

Because there is only one mode named foo, there is no ambiguity as to which 
template rules it contains.

Hello,

XSL 3.0, imports and modes.

main.xsl declares a mode, and imports imported.xsl, that declares the same 
mode and defines a template in that mode :

main.xsl:
<xsl:mode name="foo" on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:import href="imported.xsl"/>

imported.xsl
<xsl:mode name="foo" on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:template match="bar" mode="foo" />

If I process bar.xml, which is just <bar/>, in foo mode, what should I expect 
:

A shallow-copy, defined by foo mode in main.xsl, or an empty-sequence by 
template match in imported.xsl ?

Does xsl:import precedence applies to modes matching also, or only to 
template matching ?

Best,
Christophe
