a href class
It's a common question: people seem to miss this one in the specs. You need
an attribute value template

<a class="navigation" href="{url}"/>

The reason you can't use xsl:value-of here is that a stylesheet has to be a
well-formed XML document, and XML doesn't allow elements within attributes.

You could also use xsl:attribute to create the attribute, but that's always
struck me as unnecessarily verbose.
