newbie ques: alternating tags in a list?

---

---

I have only been at this for a little while, but I have a question perhaps
someone could give me a hand with:

I have a list of domains in XML that looks like this:

<DOMAINS>
   <DOMAIN>ELITERACY.COM</DOMAIN>
   <DOMAIN>CYBERSUBSCRIPTION.COM</DOMAIN>
   <DOMAIN>CYBERSUBSCRIBE.COM</DOMAIN>
   <DOMAIN>COSMICTEACHER.COM</DOMAIN>
</DOMAINS>

Converting this to HTML (through XSL) into a table is easy, it could look
something like:

<xsl:template match="DOMAINS">
    <table><tr><td> <xsl:process select="DOMAIN"/> </td></tr></table>
</xsl:template>

.. however what I want to do is display the domain information in a two
column format in an HTML table, so that the output would look something
like:

<table>
  <tr><td> FIRST_DOMAIN </td> <td>SECOND_DOMAIN</td></tr>
  <tr><td> THIRD_DOMAIN </td> <td>FOURTH_DOMAIN</td></tr>
</table>

.. as you can see, one "template match" will not work because I want to
handle every other domain differently.  

Does anyone have any ideas for how I can accomplish this in XSL?  What I
basically want to do is be able to number the domain list, mod the number
and use the mod result to determine how the domain should be output.

Any comments, help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
