XSLT does not deal in tags. Producing output is not a matter of serially
pasting together strings of text. Leave that for lower level markup languages
like PHP and CFML, which amount to little more than server-side includes. In
XSLT you deal with node trees that are implied by the markup. You produce a
new node tree and then let the XSLT processor serialize it with whatever
markup ('tags') is appropriate for the kind of output you want. Read a good
tutorial on XPath and XSLT (Michael Kay's XSLT book is the best) for a 
thorough explanation.

In the mean time, this should work for you:

<td class="listCell">
  <ramtag:loc label="{.}"/>
</td>

I assume you've declared a namespace for the 'ramtag' prefix 
already. xmlns:ramtag="...something..."
