Ah, but I thought there might be an XSLT clue on how to "pad-out" if the
columns don't fit neatly into the divisions. This could occur if you were
going across or down with a variable number of items, but a set number of
columns (or rows). The '</tr>' does not get written until the columns are
equal in the row.

I suppose I'd use the parameter in your example ("pcolSize") and force an
empty result until the columns are correct.
