Problem with Xalan processing

I have been trying to get the Xalan processor going and processing some XML
from within a JSP and the actual processing seems to be working but the end
result is puzzling me with a few strange additions to the HTML that should
not be there.  I am relatively new to XSLT so maybe my style sheet is
incorrect but if someone could explain what is going wrong here?

The resulting HTML seems to have things added in each time apply-templates
is encountered

here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<POLICY>
     <INSTALLMENT>805.75</INSTALLMENT>
     <PAYMENT_FREQ>2</PAYMENT_FREQ>
          <BENEFIT>
          <INSTALLMENT>805.75</INSTALLMENT>
          <NUMBER>1</NUMBER>
               <RIDER>
                    <INSTALLMENT>385.54</INSTALLMENT>
                    <NUMBER>1</NUMBER>
                    <RATE>7.2040</RATE>
               </RIDER>
               <RIDER>
                    <INSTALLMENT>378.20</INSTALLMENT>
                    <NUMBER>2</NUMBER>
                    <RATE>7.2040</RATE>
               </RIDER>
               <RIDER>
                    <INSTALLMENT>42.01</INSTALLMENT>
                    <NUMBER>3</NUMBER>
                    <RATE>8.0000</RATE>
               </RIDER>
          </BENEFIT>
</POLICY>


and the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version
="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="POLICY">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>the quote</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Your Policy Installment Premium is $<xsl:value-of select="INSTALLMENT"
/></H1>
<BR />
<H1>To be paid <xsl:value-of select="PAYMENT_FREQ" /> times per year.</H1>
<BR />
<BR /><BR />
<H3>Policy Summary</H3>
<HR />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="BENEFIT">
<H4>Benefit: - $<xsl:value-of select="INSTALLMENT" /></H4>
<BR />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="RIDER">
Rider #<xsl:value-of select="NUMBER" /> .......... $<xsl:value-of select
="INSTALLMENT" />
<BR />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and this is the HTML result:


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>the quote</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<H1>The Policy Installment Premium is $805.75</H1>
<BR>
<H1>To be paid 2 times per year.</H1>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<H3>Policy Summary</H3>
<HR>
     805.75

     2

          <H4>Benefit: - $805.75</H4>
<BR>
          805.75
          1

Rider #1 .......... $385.54<BR>

Rider #2 .......... $378.20<BR>

Rider #3 .......... $42.01<BR>

</BODY>
</HTML>



Thanks in advance
