you might want to think about using the jsp _expression_ language if you can use it.

That's not a concept defined in either HTML or XML. Hence, it's not a concept architected into XSLT.

You could try taking this up with the W3C's XSLT Working Group, but I think they're going to tell you that the XML Infoset says the content of an attribute is Text and therefore it's up to you to generate it as Text.

Exit the xsl:text after the quote, call an xsl:value to retrieve the variable's contents as a string, start a new xsl:text to close the quotes and finish the element.
