In case this is misinterpreted: you can insert the value resulting from evaluating an XPath expression into an attribute without using <xsl:attribute>, as long as you use an attribute value template: <a href="{@url}">...</a> has the same effect as: <a> <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:value-of select="@url" /> </xsl:attribute> ... </a> but the first is shorter and easier to read and write than the second.
