apply templates to the nth record and above?

Hi 

can anyone tell me how I can apply a templates to a record starting above 1
and continue for the rest of the set?

Here's what I got, it only does record 2, but I need record 2 and above.

<xsl:apply-templates select="AREA[2] | following-sibling::AREA"
mode="within"/>


If anyones interested, heres what Im working on, perhaps there is a better
way? Its an XSL to create a multiple row HTML table where the first row may
be extended with rowspan.


<xsl:template match="CONTACTS/CONTACT">

	<TR valign="top">
		<TD>
		<xsl:attribute name="rowspan"><xsl:value-of
select="count(AREA)" /></xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></TD><xsl:apply-templates
select="AREA[1]" />
	</TR>

	<xsl:apply-templates select="AREA[2] | following-sibling::AREA"
mode="within"/>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="AREA">

	<TD><xsl:apply-templates /></TD><TD><xsl:value-of select="@phone"
/></TD>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="AREA" mode="within">

	<TR>
		<TD><xsl:apply-templates /></TD><TD><xsl:value-of
select="@phone" /></TD>
	</TR>
</xsl:template>




Thanks
