My first reaction on seeing this kind of template rule is to break it up:

 <xsl:template match="a/img">
   <xsl:value-of select="@alt"/> <!-- ? -->
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="p/img">
   <xsl:value-of select="@alt"/> <!-- ? -->
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="img">
   <p><xsl:value-of select="@alt"/></p>
 </xsl:template>

I don't know if this is exactly the output you wanted, your description
implied some difference between the a/img and p/img cases but I can't quite
see what the difference is.
