I don't have my XSL docs here at work, but I think something like the
following does it:

	<xsl:template match="brown_nose">
		<p><xml:apply-templates/></p>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="brown_nose/link">
		<a href="{@url}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
	</xsl:template>

(Note "curly braces," not parentheses, enclosing the @url.)
		
If I've got this right, it ought to generate HTML that looks like this:
	<p>The <a href="http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/
	<http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/> "> XSL List </a> is a great
	place to ask questions about XSL.</p>

The URL in your example looks a little bogus, so the link might not
actually *work* in this specific case. But that's a separate issue. :)
