<a href={myLoc.createDefaultLink}>Foo</a>
In Scala, if the attribute is an Option[NodeSeq] and it is None, the
attribute will not be included where if it's Some(Text("/foo/bar")) it will
be included. Thus the choice of Option rather than Box and the choice of
NodeSeq rather than String.
In terms of your code:
(for {
loc <- SiteMap.findLoc("Login")
path <- loc.createDefaultPath
} yield <a href={path}>Login</a>) openOr NodeSeq.Empty
