Hi Jason,

I didn't know you could nest ${} objects in a string: construct.

You might make life easier using python.  Maybe something like:

tal:attributes="onmouseover python: sp_info[ group ] + '/' + common_name"

I have no idea what "common_name" is supposed to be, here I assumed its 
a global var.
