there is an implicit 'counter' on nodesets just being processed;
you can access the current position with  position()  and check
whether it is odd or even.

...
<xsl:template match="...">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="(position() mod 2) = 0">
       <tr class="even">
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <tr class="odd">
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
   <td>...</td>
   ...
   </tr>
</xsl:template>
...


hope that helps
Markus
