*LOL* I should've seen that, too. I've solved this problem like 5 times in
5 different ways both on the list and in my company's software. I thought
I could get away without test my example before I posted it. I apologize
to Francis and the lurkers who may have been confused.

The real problem is that he changed the XML on us. His original post said:

> If I have an xml like:
> 
> <eno>A21</eno>
> <eno>A22</eno> 
> <eno>A23</eno>
> <eno>A24</eno>
> <eno>A25</eno>
> <eno>A26</eno>

And I just showed him how to use xsl:for-each to iterate through the 1st,
3rd, 5th, etc. nodes, building a new table row with each iteration. When
he acted like our solution was faulty when applied against a source tree
with a different schema, I got annoyed.
