well it does, but why the !?

You had specified that all nodes should be copied, so you get

					<!-- THIS DIDN'T WORK - INCLUDE
<Name/> TAGS -->
					<xsl:apply-templates
select="Name"/>
				</h1>

(Of course you get element nodes, not tags, but leave that for now:-)
so when you add a temnplate for Name that says (just) that element
should not be copied but instead just process it's childen, then Name is
no longer copied. So adding that template hardly changed everything, it
just changed the processing of one element type.
