My problem is, that I have built a graphical abstraction layer on top of
XSLT, which is transformed to XSLT. I like to group template rules that
are imported into the main stylesheet. I use xsl:import, because I have
technically caused global parameter declarations that would collide with
xsl:include. But although the stylesheets are imported, I'd like to
decide which rule is taken by priority.

One possible solution might be:
* code the priority into the mode (<ident>_<prio>) during the stylesheet
generation,
* use a fallback dummy template returning an unique identifier for all
the modes and
* call apply-templates for all modes (descending order)
* until the first does not return the dummy identificator.

But that isn't intended at all, I think. Another way would be to copy
the template rules to the main stylesheet, remove duplicate template
signatures and import only the rest of the top-level-declaration of the
stylesheet modules (like parameters and keys).

wfg,
Jonny.
