This makes sense.

This not... how do I use mode on xsl:import? AFAIK mode belongs to
xsl:template and xsl:call-templates... please explain!

BTW, the stylesheets imported are self-contained stylesheets - they are just
like small web parts. We'd like an OOP approach, using XML, XSLT and CSS.

Since the two xsl:apply-imports are in the same template, they will follow
exactly the same search path in looking for the next template to apply. If
you want to search different sets of templates in the two cases, the
mechanism to use is modes.
