RE: [xsl] Newbie Q: Why are element contents being passed th

If you don't specify a template rule for a particular element, then the
default template rule kicks in. The default template rule for elements
copies the content to the output. If this isn't what you want, you can
override it:

<xsl:template match="*"/>
