Maybe I have it backwards, but maybe that's because I started at the
back.  Appendix E, Changes from Previous Public Working Draft, says:

   When there is no matching template rule in a mode, then the
   built-in template rules now continue processing in that same mode
   (see [6.8 Built-in Template Rules]).

I think I read that before I read Section 6.8, hence my
interpretation.
