Try removing the surrounding <xsl:copy ...>, optionally replace it with:

<xsl:element name="modsCollection">
  <xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:element>

Depends... In the 'other cases', is the id attribute going to be absent (or
have a special value)?
In that case, certainly look around for the usage of
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when />
  <xsl:otherwise />
</xsl:choose>

You can use this inside the template you already have.
