Thanks for responding. The code using
match="catalog/artist/album/label/person"
does work, except it seems to include the value within title. Is there a way
to avoid this?

At the very least, the path in the match="" portion of
the template does not match the actual path you have
shown in your example. What you appear to be missing
is the the "/" in the path means go down to children --
it doesn't have to sort through siblings. So:
* match="catalog/artist/name/album/title/label"
is looking for the label element in a structure
like this
<catalog>
<artist>
<name>
<album>
<title>
<label></label>
</title>
</album>
</name>
</artist>
</catalog>
It looks like what you really want is the attributes
on the person element. The path to person based on your
example is:
match="catalog/artist/album/label/person"
If you use this, the code to create the Mailto should
work.
