If the source XML document is valid then the "<" and ">" must be
entities "&lt;" and "&gt;" even when in an attribute.

<row url="...&lt;...&gt;">

The value can be loaded into the <a> tag as normal and the rest
will just work.

<xsl:template match="row">
 <a href="{@url}">
  ...
 </a>
</xsl:template>

I hope this helps.
Peter
