Try this:

let $a := 'test'
return 
<p name="uri" value="{$a}" />

Or:

let $a := 'test'
return 
<p name="uri">{ attribute value { $a } }</p>

The second expression provides a way to construct the name dynamically too as { $value }. Any attribute nodes constructed or placed inside an element body will be added as regular attributes of the element.
