It looks like you are getting confused about mode.

The mode= attribute in your source document won't do anything for you
automatically.

I think you probably want to first match on

programlisting[@mode='format-xml']

and in that template call your <xsl:apply-templates mode="format-xml"/>

(with appropriate additional templates matching in that mode).
