Your choice would be the neater option if <a> had any attributes that
you needed copied, eg:
<xsl:template match="a">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:text>12345</xsl:text>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
or possible more future proof in case you ever need to override the copy:
<xsl:template match="a">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:text>12345</xsl:text>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
