Replace each <xsl:apply-templates/> elements with <xsl:value-of select="."/>.

<xsl:apply-templates/> says, "...now process the matched node and all its 
children." That's why you're getting all the other stuff in your result. 
<xsl:value-of select="."/> says, "...add the value of the matched node to 
the result tree."
