 The XSLT community will tell you that this:
> Alternatively you can try encoding your output xml/xhtml tags.
> <a class="navigation" id="selected" href="<xsl:value-of select="url"
/>"
> >
> <xsl:value-of select="title" />
> </a>
is a bad idea. Heres' one of many explanations why:

You're not strictly using DOE, but the comment still applies.
I suggest using the attribute value template (AVT):
<a class="navigation" id="selected" href="{url}"><xsl:value-of
select="title" /></a>
It's the shortest, easiest-to-read solution, and it avoids the problem of
replacing markup with text (such as using < for <).
