Modes in NVDL are similar with modes in XSLT. They provides a different
set of rules that apply when a mode is selected. In the above sample the
mode has no relevance, thus the equivalence between the two examples
Roger posted. If you have multiple modes then one needs to be selected
as the initial mode (the first section will be processed against) and
the startMode makes that selection.
