Nightmare....

Instead of:

<xsl:for-each select="/document/*">
          <xsl:call-template name="caller">
                    <xsl:with-param name="n"
select="concat('field_type_', @mode)"/>
                    <xsl:with-param name="i" select="."/>
          </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:for-each>

just do:

<xsl:apply-templates select="/document/*"/>

or even just <xsl:apply-templates/>

and then have:

<xsl:template match="*[@mode = 'string']">

and

<xsl:template match="*[@mode = 'password']">


As a rule to follow, don't use xsl:for-each or xsl:call-template until
you have mastered xsl:apply-templates....
