It's a completely different problem.  Think about it, the XSLT
stylesheet is an XML document, and hence follows all the rules of XML.
 Having an element within an attribute is note well-formed XML (and
hence not XML).  What you're dealing with are literal result element
(doesn't use the xsl:element or xsl:attribute for a quick definition
although the correct one can be found in the documentation).

To get the result you're looking for, you'd need to do

 <a href='javascript:void(0);' onClick="toggle('{voltage}'/>')">


See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#attribute-value-templates for more
information on this.

This is a FAQ, although I'm never quite sure why people try putting
elements within attriubtes.
