Since an XSLT stylesheet is an XML document, it must be well formed.
It helps when writing stylesheets to think of elements and attributes as
nodes of a node tree and not angle brackets of markup.
Also, you have assigned non-IDable name tokens to your attributes named ID
(though I see that without the DTD they aren't typed ID). You could just
take advantage of the position of the media child ... but that is another
question.

Or you could assign the table line to a variable and put the variable
contents in each:
<xsl:variable name="contents">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="@num"/>
</td>
</xsl:variable>
...
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(@id mod 2)=0" >
<tr bgcolor="#ffffcc">
<xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
</tr>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr>
<xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
</tr>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
Then again, you could just decide on the background colour at the point in
time, and not bother with the variable:
<tr>
<xsl:if test="(@id mod 2)=0">
<xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">#ffffcc</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="@num"/>
</td>
</tr>
Depending on what other needs you may have, one of the two above may be
better than the other.
I hope this helps.
