I was using something similar but with different results. I had this
template to exclude 'Evens' and this identity (copy) template :-

>        <xsl:template match="Evens">
> 
>                <xsl:apply-templates/>
>        </xsl:template>
> 
> 
>        <xsl:template match="*|@*|text()">
>                <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
>        </xsl:template>
> 
> 

If Evens is not the top most element node, then the template matching
Evens (and any other template) will have no effect, as the second
template will match the document element and then copy-of the entire
document, templates will not be applied at all to any nodes other than
the document node / and the top level element.
