Indeed, that's what I wanted, something like 'function pointers' in C/C++ programming. I might be looking into Dimitre's FXSL, but I can't use it in this situation, since it's a school exercise and I have to use standard XSLT specifications (no extensions allowed). So there is nothing else possible than some crap of if-conditions, to 'simulate' several modes in one template/function?

In effect, you want a higher-order function/template that accepts a function/template as a parameter and then calls that function/template. This is precisely what Dimitre's FXSL approach does. You can't supply a template as a parameter, but you can supply a node that acts as a surrogate for the template, so that when you apply-templates to that node, the template that's invoked depends on which node was supplied.
