By doing this:

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

<xsl:template match="emphasis">
  <span>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </span>
</xsl:template>

Forget value-of until you've mastered working all the way through the node 
tree applying templates (you'll get the value-of at the bottom in the text 
node). Read up on the built in templates and how the processor traverses 
the tree by default. Soon it will click.

Very. :-)

Cheers,
Wendell
