Yep; that's known as an Attribute Value Template (AVT), and is the 
simplest way to generate an attribute with a known name.

More often used when you need to programmatically generate the 
attribute's name, or when you need fancier logic in setting its value 
than an AVT can support:

    <p><a><xsl:attribute name="href" select="url"/>Buy book</a></p>
or

    <p><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of 
select="url"/></xsl:attribute>Buy book</a></p>

or, for stylesheet readability reasons:
    <p><a>
	<xsl:attribute name="href"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="url"/>
	</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:text>Buy book</xsl:text>
    </a></p>

... or any of the equivalents thereof. (XSLT being a programming 
language, there is usually more than one way to achieve a given result.)
