Including http:// as value of href

[prashanth dot b dot rao at us dot pwcglobal dot com]

I believe that the answer to my question has been posted before, but I've
searched the archives and am unable to find it.  Even though the outputted HTML
works to display the link correctly, it is not very pretty.  I would like to
directly insert 'http://' into the beginning of the value of HREF.  I would
appreciate any instance.

Thanks.

Here are my XML, XSL, HTML snippets:

XML
-------
   <url>www.yahoo.com</url>

XSL
-------
  <xsl:template match="url">
     <A>
        <xsl:attribute name="HREF">
        http://<xsl:value-of select="."/>
     </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </A>
  </xsl:template>


HTML Output
----------------------
<A HREF="
        http://www.ford.com">www.ford.com</A>
