alternating tags in a list?
I think that's beyond the scope of XSL per se. To handle odd/even, you
either need a richer styling language, or you need some way to extend XSL.
Some early versions of XSL did have some ability to invoke a procedural
language such as ECMAscript, which could provide the "state" information
for this kind of toggling...

It occurs to me that what you probably _really_ want is not 2 columns, but
N columns, where N is chosen to suit the width of the presentation medium
and where the items are flowed from line to
line to fill out that width. Might be hard to express that in HTML... Do
the proposed XSL formatting objects allow one to express this kind of
"flowed grid of size-balanced items"?
