Whitespace. All the whitespace that's between "?a=b&amp;c=d" and the end element for xsl:attribute is used in the attribute value. Control it by 

  <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="$url"/>?a=b&amp;c=d</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </a>

or e.g. with Allouche Method

  <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="$url"/>?a=b&amp;c=d<xsl:text />
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </a>
