How would "no mode" be handled?

That's our birthday present sorted - any chance of a Christmas present too :)
...

A wild-card for mode, e.g.
  <xsl:template ... mode="*">

AVTs on caller mode, e.g.
  <xsl:apply-templates ... mode="{expr}"/>

Ability to get at current mode (so it can be persisted down), e.g.
  <xsl:template ... mode="*">
    ...
    <xsl:apply-templates ... mode="{current-mode()}"/>

This would give the ability to funnel into certain templates and then apply out
again in the caller's orginal mode - would save repeating common code.

Cheers
Marrow
