></xsl:template>

Or, alternatively, an attribute-value template.  Place the 'select'
expression of the xsl:value-of that you want to be able to write in curly
braces (e.g. {Effect}) within the attribute to achieve the same effect.

<xsl:template match="Code">
    <option value="{Effect}">
        <xsl:value-of select="Display"/>
    </option>
</xsl:template>

There's also no need to use xsl:element unless you want to.  It works
perfectly well to do:

<xsl:template match="Code">
    <option>
        <xsl:attribute name="value">
             <xsl:value-of select="Effect"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:value-of select="Display"/>
    </option>
</xsl:template>
