How do I pick the first three elements and ignore the rest?

I would like to pick the first three LI elements contained within a
HEADLINES section. I can get the first using first-of-any(). How do I get
all three though.

My XML would look something like:

<HEADLINES>
	<UL>
	<LI>Man Lands on Mars</LI>
	<LI>Moon rock is edible</LI>
	<LI>Space dust cloggs AC unit<LI>
	<LI>Splash down in English Channel</LI>
	<LI>...</LI>
	<LI>...</LI>
	<LI>...</LI>
	<LI>...</LI>
	</UL>
</HEADLINES>

If there is a better place for me to be asking these fairly basic questions
then please point me there. Is there a good easy to read reference - the WD
is a little heavy going and lacking in good examples.

Cheers,

Nic.
