The same advice as always, using // is expensive and you should avoid it if you can.

There's nothing inelegant about your solution. The other approach, possibly preferable, is that you don't select the nodes you don't want to be processed. That is, instead of

  <xsl:apply-templates />

use

  <xsl:apply-templates select="*" />

or what ever the content model contains.
