How to select particular items from repeating 'generic' attributes?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to XSL, and I've bumped into what is probably (hopefully) 
a simple problem.

I need to convert a simple xml document containing just repeated 
'generic' data blocks of:

<record>
	<data>Bob</data>
	<data>Smith</data>
	...
</record>

to:

<person>
	<firstname>Bob</firstname>
	<lastname>Smith</lastname>
	...
</person>

The source xml contains the same number of  <data> elements for each 
record, are in a consistent order, with no omissions.

I've figured out how to use foreach to iterate over the person records, 
but can't see how to select the nth occurence of <data> within each 
record.

Basically I think I need:

<xsl foreach record>
<person>
	<firstname><xsl valueof "first data"></firstname>
	<lastname><xsl valueof "2nd data"></lastname>
	...
</person
</xsl foreach>

But I've got no idea how to actually get the 'first data', 'second 
data', etc... 

Thanks in advance,
-Dave
