You can't increment an arbitrary counter, but if you want to iterate over
every 2nd node in a set:

<xsl:for-each select="/xpath/for/some/nodes[position() mod 2 = 1]">

for example. Generally, the problems people want to solve by counting from
0 to n are things that can be solved without using a counter at all. Post
your actual problem if this isn't helpful.
