I thought XSL was really powerful then I came across this problem and I'm
stuck.  Perhaps I'm just suffering from XSL writers block but how do I dow
the following:

Take a list of items like so:

<list>
  <item>Text</item>
  <item>More text</item>
  ... etc.
</list>

and convert it into a double column HTML table like so:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Text</td>
    <td>More text</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    ... etc.
  </tr>
</table>

(The items fill across the table first since that seems easiest to do...)
