Using modes will make the second template execute when the first template 
executes, and I think he wants to make the second template execute all the 
time.  Try this:

<xsl:template match="item[@xlink:type='simple']">
  <a href="{@xlink:href}">
    <xsl:call-template name="real-item"/>
  </a>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item" name="real-item">
  ...
</xsl:template>

This way real-item is also executed for items that do not have 
@xlink:type='simple', but is still called by the first template.
