The reason you're getting hung up is actually logical. What
if there are an odd number of items? Your logic will produce
no </TR> which IS invalid...
What you need to do is output on every OTHER item and then
output the next one if it's there. That way you always have
the ending /TR and you generate an empty <TD></TD> block...
Something like
<TABLE>
<xsl:for-each select="ITEM">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:if test="$pos mod 2"/>
<TR>
<TD>
<xsl:value-of select"."/>
</TD>
<TD>
<xsl:if test="../ITEM[$pos + 1]">
<xsl:value-of select="../ITEM[$pos + 1]"/>
</xsl:if>
</TD>
</TR>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</TABLE>
You could also make the last one a colspan of 2 if you'd
rather...
