Hi Dave,
Using modes is possible only with templates that have the "match"
attribute specified (there is <xsl:apply-templates mode="xxx"/> but
nothing like <xsl:call-template name="xxx" mode="yyy"/>).
It still would be illegal to have identically named templates in the
same stylesheet even in the case they have a "match" and a "mode"
attribute defined -- the XSLT processor doesn't know whether you're
going to instantiate the templates via xsl:apply-templates or via
<xsl:call-template name="identicalName"/>
In the last case the XSLT processor cannot unambiguously choose which
one of the two identically named templates should be called -- this is
clearly some kind of an error.
Hope this helped.
