xsl for an rdf file, src attribute won't create correct link to image file

J

with the following xsl and xml file, the display of the gif file with
the <image/url> tag works. However, the gif file in the <description>
tag using the name attribute "src" won't make the correct link to the
gif file. why?

<xsl:element name="img">

select="lc:description/@src" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="border"><xsl:value-of
select="lc:description/@border" /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

1. the description element from the namespace prefixed with lc has no
src attribute
2. there is no img element in the description element, just text
(&lt;img ... /&gt; is _not_ <img ... />).
