This doesn't seem to work. The if statement only evaluates to true the first
time through the loop. I agree that the dates must flow down, so don't I
need to have some way to do the following:

<table>
<dtml-in meetingDateTable>
<tr>
 <td><dtml-var meeting_date></td>
 <td><dtml-var meeting_date[some later index]></td>
</tr>
</dtml-in>
</table>

It's the [some later index] part that would seem to be the
bugger. Doable? Perhaps this would be a perfect application for a
PythonScript?
