This isn't valid DocBook 4/5, as there's no programlisting/@mode, so
that's the first thing to fix:

Perhaps you want no use programlisting/@role instead of @mode?

So, this template is only matching programlistings in a specific [XSL]
mode. More on xsl:template/@mode, briefly, here:
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_template.asp

In this case (assuming you've noted my warning about invalid DocBook
and changed your markup), what you actually want to do is match a very
specific programlisting in the default xsl:template/@mode (which we're
gunna omit, along with [probably] unnecessary @priority):

   <xsl:template match="programlisting[@role = 'format-xml']>
       <!-- This format-xml mode had better be defined somewhere in
your customization. Otherwise drop. -->
       <xsl:apply-templates   mode="format-xml" />
   </xsl:template>

@priority won't help a non-matching template. This one failed to match
on xsl:template/@mode, but you could have been more specific in your
xsl:template/@match (see above).
