Hope this helps

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="item">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- don't use item node with position larger then 4 -->
<xsl:template match="item[position()&gt;4]"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The second template has a higher priority then the first one and is for this
reason selected for the fifth node and higher.

Cheers,
Agnes
