Section 5.7 of the current WD of XSLT 2.0 clarifies:

"The built-in template rules for text, attribute, comment,
processing-instruction, and namespace nodes for a specific mode are the same
as the rules shown above that apply where no mode is specified."

No errata has been issued for XSLT 1.0 on this point, but I would assume that 
this was the intent all along, since it was not listed in the appendices of 
XSLT 2.0 as being a change from the previous versions of XSLT, and since all 
1.0 processors treat it this way anyway.
