Yeah, it's not sufficient.  I spent another couple of hours pulling my 
hair out thinking something was wrong with how I was using modes.  The 
problem was the damned namespaces, and the only solution I came up with 
(which is not much of a solution) that would apply the mods templates 
to the temporary tree was to leave the default namespace as mods, which 
means the default namespace for the output "xhtml" is also mods.

Suggestions would certainly be appreciated.  I tried including the 
namespace declaration on the modsCollection element output in the 
phase-1 pass, but that didn't work.
