I tried that and it did not work either.  What I ended
up doing was copying in the actual 

<xsl:template match="sect1">

and customizing that... maybe that is brute force, but
it worked.

I think the problem is the mode="article.recto.mode".
There is no such mode in the stylesheets, so your template
is never used.  What happens if you omit the mode attribute?
