If the value is yes (the default), then it is an error to use a mode name in xsl:template or xsl:apply-templates, or in the [xsl:]default-mode attribute of any element, or to use the unnamed mode explicitly or implicitly in these contexts, unless the package contains an explicit xsl:mode declaration for that mode. If the value is no, then this is not an error. </quote> A superficial reading suggests that you can't write <xsl:apply-templates mode="M"/> where M is a public mode declared in a used package. That would be nonsense. The description of XTSE3085 a couple of paragraphs later gets it right. Change "unless the package contains an explicit xsl:mode declaration for that mode" to "unless the package either contains an explicit xsl:mode declaration for that mode, or contains a mode with the appropriate symbolic name and visibility that is exposed by a used package". 122708 1 mike 2015-08-21 18:23:21 +0000 The WG agreed to the proposed change. 122709 2 mike 2015-08-21 19:47:01 +0000 The change has been applied
