It depends on how much flexibility you need. If there are only a few
options, then perhaps a global parameter (or with XSLT 2.0, an initial
mode and/or initial template, or maybe use-when)) might be sufficient.

Of course, you could always create an XSLT stylesheet on the fly, if
you really need to.
