The substring() function and other functions should work within the
curly brackets. Try:

  <a href="http://www.expasy.org/cgi-bin/niceprot.pl?{substring-after(@seq_acc, 'SP:')}>
    ...
  </a>

If that doesn't work, tell us what the error is or what it produces
and we might be able to help.
  
Cheers,

Jeni
