That's always a good idea! Coding problems usually boil down to people
tackling the problem the wrong way. (And often turn out to be a FAQ!)

 I actually

The solution to this kind of grouping problem is along the lines of

<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 3 = 1]">
   <tr>
     <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
     <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[1]"/></td>
     <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[2]"/></td>
   </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
