What about this compromise?

<xsl:template match="D" mode="foo">
  <xsl:call-template name="foobarwow" >
    <xsl:with-param.../>   <!-- if necessary -->
  <xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

and the same for bar and wow.  Then:

<xsl:template name="foobarwow" >
  <xsl:param... />  <!-- like whatever was necessary above -->
   <!-- Then do all the common work once here -->
</xsl:template>
