Doing this without the sibling axis, I think you would have to do something
like
$elements[1 +
for $e at $pos in $elements
where ($pos mod 2 = 1) and $e=$param
return $pos]
Interestingly, the usual argument for not supporting the following-sibling
axis is that it's difficult to optimize - I wonder how good optimizers are
at handling the alternative?
