   I think I'd use stylesheets. Then, your could do something like
<tr>
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="Summary[position() mod 2 = 0]>
     <xsl:attribute name="class"/>bgcolourblack</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:attribute name="class"/>bgcolourblack</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
 <!-- all the other stuff for the row -->
</tr>
