Wasn't so difficult after all.  Here's what I did:

,-----
| <xsl:template match="entry">
|   <a>
|     <xsl:attribute name="href">
|       http://www.frob.org/search?type=simple&amp;key=<xsl:value-of select="key"/>
|     </xsl:attribute>
|     <xsl:apply-templates match="description"/>
|   </a>
| </xsl:template>
`-----

I'm sure this is not elegant and non-portable and stuff, but it
appears to work for the just-released version of XT.

Suggestions for improvements welcome! ;-)
