There's always a way to get around using d-o-e:

<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 &gt; 0">
	<tr>
		<td>
				<xsl:apply-templates />
		</td>
		<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[1]" />
		</td>
	</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

I understood that to produce well-formed xml in situations where start 
and end tags are conditional, disable-output-escaping (or xsl:output 
mode="html") were required. If I leave it off, the output will be 
&lt;tr&gt; will it not?
