Americo,
Your solution was the most promising so far. The time to execute was less than
half of what I had before, but unfortunately that is still long (now it's about
3 minutes, compared to 7.5 minutes).
The solutions that looked like they held promise from a performance point of
view, but which didn't seem to work due to array index out of bound errors were
the ones that recursively re-applied the template match for
select="following-sibling:tr[1]." (I wonder if somehow it's faster to get the
following-sibling than the previous sibling.)
Thanks very much,
Rechell Schwartz

Before I throw in the towel on this one, I tried my own
approach, which I thought should work, but didn't. Any
insights would be appreciated.
Try this, it worked with the example provided
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<!--identity transform-->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="oddeven" select="tr[td[not(a or
@class)]]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tr" mode="oddeven">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position() mod 2"/>
<!-- the non selected nodes are precessed by the identity template and
are selected here. -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="preceding-sibling::tr[td[a or
@class]][generate-id(following-sibling::tr[td[not(a or
@class)]])=generate-id(current())]"/>
<xsl:copy>
<!-- you could use xsl:choose if you want, I use a boolean test to set
the correct mode -->
<xsl:apply-templates mode="odd" select="node()[$pos=1]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="even" select="node()[$pos=0]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="td" mode="odd">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="class">oddMedium</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="td" mode="even">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="class">evenMedium</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps you
