All you need to do is use the right axis in your template

Try something like


<xsl:template name="PairedNodes">
	<xsl:param name="FirstNode" />
	<xsl:variable name="SecondNode"
select="$FirstNode/following-sibling::node()[1]" />
	
<!-- Do your thing here checking to ensure that $SecondNode is set properly
since you may	have an odd number of nodes-->
	
	<xsl:call-template name="PairedNodes">
		<xsl:with-param name="FirstNode"
select="$FirstNode/following-sibling::node()[2]" />
	</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

You will probably want to check that the thrird following sibling exists at
the end or that FirstNode has a node in it at the beginning.
