Just turn each of these rules into an XSLT template rule:

<xsl:template match="para">
[ParaStyle:para]<xsl:apply-templates/>[/ParaStyle:para]
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text">
[ParaStyle:text]<xsl:apply-templates/>[/ParaStyle:text]
</xsl:template>

I've had to make guesses there about what the true requirement is, 
including whitespace handling.
