There is indeed. Use the identity template as your default template rule:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and then supplement it with template rules like yours above that treat
particular elements differently.
