Hah yes, I am pretty sure I have sent a similar mail to doc@ several
years ago.  It chooses events from the last N days, not the last N
events.  So when we have multiple events on days the list can get
quite long.  It sounds pretty easy but the xslt is a bit trickier than
you would think and I also didn't solve it the last time I tried.
