It shouldn't. Where did you get it?

Do you mean:

<xsl:template match="include-data">
   <xsl:variable name="xpath" select="@xpath">
   <xsl:variable name="mode=" select="@mode">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="$xpath" mode="$mode" />
</xsl:template>
? If yes, than answer should be "No, you can't do it in XSLT 1.0". Mode 
should be QName, not expression. Also select attribute value should be a 
node-set-expression, but @xpath value isn't.
