For 3, the right way is the same simple-small-thematic stages, but done
with transform() calls so you have independent stylesheets for each step
and stop having to worry about mode leakage. It is way too easy to
re-use a mode name over the course of a long project, and if it's all
one stylesheet this can result in an absolutely satanic debugging
experience.
Give packages a try as an alternative. Packages give you all the isolation you
get with fn:transform, but with strongly-typed and published interfaces between
the packages.
