It's a common question: people seem to miss this one in the specs. You need
an attribute value template
<a class="navigation" href="{url}"/>
The reason you can't use xsl:value-of here is that a stylesheet has to be a
well-formed XML document, and XML doesn't allow elements within attributes.
You could also use xsl:attribute to create the attribute, but that's always
struck me as unnecessarily verbose.

Subject: [xsl] <a class="..." href="..." problem
Hi all,
I just began with xsl two days ago, so sorry for this maybe stupid
question.
I am trying to write some xsl stylesheets but I encounter
some problems
with next xsl document.
As you can see it in the "chapter" template section, I try to
enumerate
all menu entries through two XPath nodes. <title> corresponds to the
label displayed on the web page and <url> corresponding to the link
pointing to the web page.
This is working fine except the href variable. It seems I
cannot insert
some <xsl:... /> tag into some double quotes being part of
another tag.
How can I solve this problem ?
Regards
Vincent
