Re: [xsl] Multiple template rules, in different files, matching same element ... how to invoke a template rule in a specific XSLT file?

["Christophe Marchand cmarchand@xxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We do not duplicate code. Never. So we re-use a lot existing code. And 
so, we have a lot of xsl:import.

Each xsl module has it's own "main" mode, and a template match='/' with 
no mode that apply-templates mode="own-main-mode"

The "master" xsl has also a template match="/" with no mode, which has 
the top-most priority, and overwrites all other.

When we want to specify a specific call, we apply-templates with the 
desired mode. We didn't find a better way to do it.

Best,
Christophe
