How about:

<xsl:template match="p">
  <P><xsl:apply-templates/></P>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="href">
  <A HREF="{@link}"><xsl:apply-templates/></A>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="a">
  <A HREF="mailto:{@mailto}";><xsl:apply-templates/></A>
</xsl:template>

(this is untested, but Should Work(TM))

Hope this helps.
