[xsl] apply-templates instead of for-each

[xptm <xptm@xxxxxxx>]

<xsl:variable name='gtmenu' 
select="document('..\pages\gtmenu.xml')/XPage/MenuBar/Menu/MenuItem" />
<xsl:for-each select="$gtmenu">
  <Event method="menuAction" target="{@name}" type="MenuHandler" />
</xsl:for-each>

where gtmenu.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<XPage 
op-menus="AmbitoLista,DocumentoSerieLista,DocumentoTipoListaRef,EntidadeListaDoc,SessaoLista,TarefaTipoListaRef">
   <MenuBar>
     <Menu name="mnuFile" content="File">
       <MenuItem name="mnuOp1" content="AmbitoLista" />
       <MenuItem name="mnuOp2" content="DocumentoSerieLista" />
       <MenuItem name="mnuOp3" content="DocumentoTipoListaRef" />
       <MenuItem name="mnuOp4" content="EntidadeListaDoc" />
       <MenuItem name="mnuOp5" content="SessaoLista Serie" />
       <MenuItem name="mnuOp6" content="TarefaTipoListaRef" />
       <MenuItem name="mnuExit" content="Exit" op-menu="0"/>
     </Menu>
   </MenuBar>
</XPage>

to produce

   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuOp1" method="menuAction"/>
   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuOp2" method="menuAction"/>
   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuOp3" method="menuAction"/>
   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuOp4" method="menuAction"/>
   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuOp5" method="menuAction"/>
   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuOp6" method="menuAction"/>
   <Event type="MenuHandler" target="mnuExit" method="menuAction"/>

that is working ok. But then i try to replace the for-each to

 <xsl:apply-templates select="$gtmenu" mode="event"/>

 <xsl:template match="$gtmenu" mode="event">
  <Event method="menuAction" target="{@name}" type="MenuHandler" />
 </xsl:template>

but thos wonm't work. What am i thinking wrong?

Thanks.
