[xsl] how to <xsl:apply-templates /> for ELEMENT nodes only?

Subject: [xsl] how to <xsl:apply-templates /> for ELEMENT nodes only?

At the moment, I have

<!-- lots of imported templates in this XSL file -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>UC Policy Database</title>
<link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" href="policydb_content.css"/>
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<xsl:call-template name="header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//menu" mode="menu"/>&#xa0; <xsl:apply-templates />
<xsl:call-template name="footer"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

But in order to stop the text node from being spewed out by default, I have to explicityly surpress it with
<xsl:template match="//text()" />

While this works, surely there is a more elegant way. The source XML uses an informal schema designed by someone else which mixes text with elements (document centric schema). I'm halfway through overhauling their XSLT templates and I just want all templates matching any type of element to be applied.
