    Yap! It doesn't work because you cannot leave the <table> tag open.

    But you should be able to change your code into:

    <table>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test='@ODD="O"'><xsl:attribute name="bgcolor"
value="#000066"/></xsl:when>
            <xsl:when test='@ODD="N"'><xsl:attribute name="bgcolor"
value="#3366CC"/></xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
        <!-- table content goes here -->
    </table>

    or

    <xsl:variable name="bgcolor">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test='@ODD="O"'>#000066</xsl:when>
            <xsl:when test='@ODD="N"'>#3366CC</xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:variable>
    <table bgcolor="{$bgcolor}">
        <!-- table content here -->
    </table>

    (I hope I got the syntax right :)
