using <xsl:template match="somelement"> in conjunction with
<xsl:apply-templates/> will auto match default templates.


using <xsl:template name="templatename"> in conjunction with
<xsl:call-template name="templatename"/> will only fire off that template
when u want it

using modes are useful, but i am unsure if u are using this, because u dont
understand the technique of calling a template vs auto matching a template.

i would like to help, if u send example xml/xsl then we can have a go.
