You will have to write a function for that.  Perhaps you can write a
wrapper around "self_insert_cmd" such as:

define xml_insert_space ()
{
   call ("self_insert_cmd");
   if (bfind ("@"))
     del ();
}

define xml_mode_hook ()
{
  local_setkey ("xml_insert_space", " ");
}

And use an abbrev such as:

define_abbrev ("xml", "hha", "<a href=\"@\"></a>\010");

"@" may not be the best character for this.
