All three should fail because xsl:apply-templates has no match attribute.
The first two should also fail because mode should be a name, not an
expression or an attribute value template.

The pattern for using modes is:

<xsl:template match="P">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="Y" mode="Z"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Q" mode="Z">
...
</xsl:template>

where P and Q are patterns, Y is a nodeset expression, and Z is a name.
