Given the following XML:

<items>
    <item>
        <name>A</name>
        <address>0</address>
        <start>0</start>
        <size>2</size>
    </item>
    <item>
        <name>B</name>
        <address>1</address>
        <start>2</start>
        <size>4</size>
    </item>
    <item>
        <name>C</name>
        <address>2</address>
        <start>5</start>
        <size>2</size>
    </item>
</items>

I want to generate the following output including colspan's

+---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| Address | 7    | 6    | 5    | 4    | 3    | 2    | 1    | 0    |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| 0       |      |      |      |      |      |      | A           |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| 1       |      |      | B                         |      |      |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| 2       |      | C           |      |      |      |      |      |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| 3       |      |      |      |      |      |      |      |      |
+---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+

I think I would be able to accomplish this with a mutable xslt variable, but alas, there's no such thing.

Is it even possible? How?
