This is not quite the way I would like to let it work.
I have a default template which simply copies everything. Then I have
different modes in which I also want to have the default rule active.
If I call
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/" mode="q1"/>
and somewhere else
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/" mode="q2"/>
I have to code the default template two times (or three times: default-mode,
modes q1, q2). It would be easy to write
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/" mode="q1 | default-mode"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/" mode="q2 | default-mode"/>
You see?

> should have the desired effect. But are you sure you realy need modes.

No, I'm not sure. I'm still investigating. I would like to know all the
concepts of XSLT so that I know what I'm doing - and so that I know the
alternatives.
