I think it should be the innermost ancestor-or-self element, for consistency with other attributes such as default-collation, namespace declarations, etc. (In any case the current text is ambiguous as to whether it's the innermost ancestor of the mode attribute, or of the element from which it is omitted.) 123065 1 mike 2015-09-03 21:22:24 +0000 The proposal was accepted. I have rewritten the relevant text as: More specifically, when an element <var>E</var> matches the pattern <code>(xsl:template[@match] | xsl:apply-templates)[not(@mode) or normalize-space(@mode) eq "#default"]</code> (using the Unicode codepoint collation), then the effective value of the <code>mode</code> attribute is taken from the value of the <code>[xsl:]default-mode</code> attribute of the innermost ancestor-or-self element of <var>E</var> that has such an attribute.
