Apply-templates

[Thomas Karlsen <ThomasK@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question
Is it possible, when you apply-templates, to decide that it should apply
from position()=3 and out the siblings.

XML:
<section>
 <item>I am item number 1</item>
 <item>I am item number 2</item>
 <item>I am item number 3</item>
 <item>I am item number 4</item>
</section>

XSL:
<xsl:template match="section">
 <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::item[position() = 3]
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item">
 <xsl:value-of select="."/><br/>
</xsl:template>

So the output should be:
I am item number 3<br/>I am item number 4<br/>

I dont get this to work?
