In case you didn't get the message from previous answers, you have selected
a node sequence that contains element nodes alternating with whitespace-only
text nodes. Therefore, the element nodes are all in even-numbered positions.

Consider using xsl:strip-space to get rid of the whitespace-only text nodes.
