RE: XSLT2.0 modes

See

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#additional-dynamic-context

The third entry in the table states that:

* the initial setting of "current mode" is the initial mode (this is usually
the unnamed or #default mode)

* the current mode changes (in general) when you do apply-templates

* the current mode is cleared (becomes null) when you do a function call

By implication it isn't changed by call-template, for-each, or anything
else.
