Re: Escaping within an xsl:attribute element

>  so I have to use an xsl:value-of to pull it

the semantics of { } are exactly the same as semantics of 
 <xsl:value-of select= 
 so

     <xsl:element name="tr">
      <xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">
       <xsl:value-of
select="/Portal:Page/Portal:Preferences/Portal:trimColor"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
...
  </xsl:element>

is equivalent to

<tr bgcolor="{/Portal:Page/Portal:Preferences/Portal:trimColor}">
...
</tr>

but takes more typing.
