So you're saying match the config template and apply to mods with 
something like the following?

<xsl:template match="cs:title">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//mods:titleInfo"/>
</xsl:template>

I'm really not getting how to put this all together.  For example, if I 
try to experiment with this approach, I get nowhere because the 
following code (the template at the bottom) is invalid:

<!-- read the external citation style file -->
<xsl:param name="citation-style" required="yes" as="xs:string" />
<xsl:variable name="styles" as="document-node()"
  select="doc(concat($citation-style, '.csl'))" />
<!-- set the citation class parameter (e.g. author-year) as specified 
in the style file -->
<xsl:param name="citation-class" 
select="$styles/cs:citationstyle/@class"/>
<xsl:variable name="style-citation" 
select="$styles/cs:citationstyle/cs:content/cs:citation"/>
<xsl:variable name="style-biblio" 
select="$styles/cs:citationstyle/cs:content/cs:bibliography"/>

<xsl:template match="$style-biblio">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="cs:*"/>
</xsl:template>

If I try something like this instead, I don't seem to be matching 
templates:

<xsl:template match="//cs:bibliography">
  <test>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="cs:*"/>
  </test>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="cs:title">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//mods:titleInfo" mode="bib"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="cs:creator">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//mods:name" mode="bib"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="mods:titleInfo" mode="bib">
  <span class="title">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </span>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="mods:name" mode="bib">
  <span class="name">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </span>
</xsl:template>
