Re: Creating Hyperlinks using xlink

You have to remember that you may think that Xlink is special but to
XSLT it's just another collection of attribute names, so

<a href="{xlink:simple/@href}"><xs

would set the href attribute to the value of the expression xlink:simple/@href
which is the value of the href attribute of an xlink:simple  element
of the current node.

Assuming you haven't got an xlink:simple element this will be "".

You don't want the href attribute of an xlink:simple element,
you want the  xlink:href attribute of an element that has an 
xlink:type="simple" attribute

which is <a href="{@xlink:href}"
possibly guarded by an <xsl:if test="@xlink:type='simple'" if you need
that test.

Also you need to use the right xlink namespace (the one in your sample doc,
not the one in your stylesheet)
