If you really care about only <result> elements, why not ignore 
everything else?

The basic ignore stylesheet is this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">
  <xsl:template match="*"> 
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Write one stylesheet based on the element(s) you do care about:
  <xsl:template match="result">
    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
  </xsl:template>

Combine:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <!-- Ignore, but descend through every element -->
  <xsl:template match="*"> 
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>
  <!-- Except for the one I care about.. -->
  <xsl:template match="result">
    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
