Here you are effectively calling generate-id(.), where "." is the current 
<SEC> element.

Now you are calling generate-id() using the current <T> element.

All you have to do is look at the relationship between the <T> and the <SEC> 
and formulate an XPath expression that will get you there.  For example, if 
your input XML looks like this:

<T>
  <SomeElement>
    <SEC/>
  </SomeElement>
</T>

You can do:
<xsl:for-each select="SEC">
  <a href="#{generate-id(../..)}">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </a>
  ...

since T is the parent of the parent of the SEC.  Unfortunately, without seeing 
your input XML, I can't really help you more than that.
