Hi Jon,

Jon Said:
--------------------------------------
I frequently come up with a need to use mode and with-mode with
parameters. Why isn't this included in the dsssl spec and/or Jade?
Here is an example:

(mode menu colored-items

(element title (if (member (data (current-node)) colored-items)
                   (make element gi: "font" attribute: (list......))))

)

...

(with-mode menu (current-node) '("important" "main menu"))

Didier says:
------------------------------------
There is a small reference to the mode construct in the specs but I agree
with you that this is minimal. Don't expect to have the mode construct
documented in Jade because Jade is a dead end. However, we'll document this
in OpenJade and most probably with examples. If you have suggestion about
good examples to provide for the mode construct, please, let me know it so
that I could use them. Your experience could be very useful to be shared.

Thanks for your input,
