I haven't tried this but it's probably along the right lines:


<xsl:template match="rows">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="row[position()=1]"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row">
  <item>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-siblings::row[position()=1]"/>
  </item>
</xsl:template>
