I'm about a week behind, but I'll note that the latest release of 4XSLT (which 
I just announced) includes just such a capability, indirectly.

We've added an extension called set-mode which accepts an AVT so that one can 
piggy-back off global parameters to set a default mode.

It's used as in the following:

<xsl:stylesheet 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:ft="http://Fourthought.com/4Suite/XPath/Extensions"
  extension-element-prefixes='ft'
  version="1.0"
>
  <xsl:param name='start-mode' select='"mode-1"'/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <doc>
      <xsl:apply-templates>
        <ft:set-mode select='{$start-mode}'/>
      </xsl:apply-templates>
    </doc>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match='*' mode='mode-1'>
    <mode-one/>
    <xsl:message>In Mode 1<xsl:message>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Then one can use the command-line or API inteface to override the default 
value of $start-mode
