Hm, that's not plausible for me. Could you tell the reason?

A derived mode will probable deserve a new table of it's own, if the 
parent table is not suitable.

What kind of standard you see in danger here which respect to mode-name?

Or to say: to give a choice but making it complicate using it, sounds a 
little bit, hmm...
