What's that about leading the blind? :)

xsl:for-each encloses a template that is instantiated for a node-set (any
non-repeating set of nodes from a source tree), not a result tree
fragment (a hierarchical tree of nodes that has been created in the result
tree during processing).

Or if you are confident of your data, you can iterate over the nodes whose
position() in the set is less than a certain number. This can be ugly but
I just worked out a scenario last night where it will actually never fail,
during HTML table building. I won't inflict it upon the list just yet ;)
