element with multiple child
Hi Sean,

I assume that you want to generate something like:

  <a href="http://www.korg.com">korg.com</a>
  <a href="http://www.lfo4.com">lfo4.com</a>

In other words, for each url element in your source document, you want
to generate an a element whose href attribute is equal to the value of
the url element and whose value is equal to the name attribute of the
url element.

Note that you want to generate an a element for each *url* element,
so the xsl:for-each that you use should select the url elements, as
follows:

  <xsl:for-each select="kitlist/synth/links/url">
    ...
  </xsl:for-each>

As you had it, it selected the synth element, of which there is only
one in your document, so you only got one a element.
  
You can then generate the a elements for each of them similarly to the
code that you demonstrated, but with the paths being relative to the
url element rather than relative to the synth element; also I'd use an
attribute value template rather than xsl:attribute, as follows:

  <xsl:for-each select="kitlist/synth/links/url">
    <a target="_blank" href="{.}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@name" />
    </a>
  </xsl:for-each>

I hope that helps,

Jeni
