Using mode to override templates

..apologies if this has been discussed before

I want to merge my print and my 'screen' stylesheets into one to aid
maintainability.  Ideally I want to do this:

<xsl:when test="$print = 'yes'">
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="print"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>

With all templates firing as usual, except those with the mode overiding
their non-mode counterparts.

(essentially only a few templates have the mode attribute, such as
tables (remove scrolling)) and inline graphics.

Obviously, apply-templates with a mode will only use templates with a
matching mode (and not fire all the templates that are common to both
and therefore would not have a mode) - how do I overcome this?

I suppose on each template I could use a big if-else (or choose-when ;)
and separate the code that way, but I would prefer to use the neater
mode approach if thats possible.

cheers
