  (let ((person "rob"))
    (with-html-output-to-string (*standard-output*)
      (htm (:a :href (format nil "~a.htm" person) (str person)))))

  (let* ((person "rob")
         (link (format nil "~a.htm" person)))
    (with-html-output-to-string (*standard-output*)
      (htm (:a :href link (str person)))))

Attribute values aren't treated like the body of a tag.

See <http://weitz.de/cl-who/#syntax> for details.
