disable output escaping when setting attribute value

Hi,
	I am looking for a way to disable output escaping when setting attribute value.

When I have xml:
<counter link="something.jsp?fetch=reset&amp;anythingelse=something"/>

I would like to somehow produce html output like this:

<a href="something.jsp?fetch=reset&anythingelse=something"><a/>

Please note, that ampersand in html output is not escaped.

I have tried xsl:

<a href="{/counter/@link}"/>

<xsl:variable name="zmrd"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="/counter/@link"/></xsl:variable>
<a href="{$zmrd}"/>

but non of them work.

Can anybody help?
