I can see the advantage of this class of use, in that it could then be used anywhere, in any stylesheet. Is that the rationale? Your option of using moded matching templates I'm less clear on. Lets say I have a named template that performs some function, then uses the parent of the current node for something; is this the use-case for the moded template? It appears different from the 'I want only to have to write this code once' rationale. I think this is another one to add to the debugging section. Thanks Jeni.
