My purpose was rather to use 3rd-party stylesheets (yours or some
other that would be derived from them), but have them restricted to
some mode so that they wouldn't interfere with the main mode.
This was however just a thought and doesn't really feets my needs, so
it was mostly an academic question.
However, with respect to modes, I'm running into a problem: if I have
a mode which has a default-element rule, and some element rules, I
can't find how, in a customisation layer, I can override this
default-element rule without overriding all the element rules at the
same time. All I could thought of to have things working quickly was
to duplicate all those element rules. Maybe you have an idea ? Could
it be a bug in openjade ? A limitation in the dsssl specs ?
