<tr bgcolor="<something-defined-in-my-xml>">
 <td nowrap>
  <b>....</b>
 </td>
</tr>

It all has to be within the xsl:attribute because it should all be but
within the <tr> element.  I had tried it both with and without <xsl:text>
and had the same problems, but am going to try it with nowrap="nowrap" and
see if that solves my problem.

If not, I'll be back.... ;-)

Thanks,
