The param expression in #1 is evaluated in the context of each node in
$modes, while the expression in #2 is evaluated in whatever context
there is when <xsl:apply-templates select="$modes" b&> is processed, not
in the context of each $modes item. So yes, itbs about context / focus.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTSE0670
bThe focus used for computing the value specified by the xsl:with-param
element is the same as that used for the xsl:apply-templates,
xsl:apply-imports, xsl:next-match, or xsl:call-template element within
which it occurs.b
