Start off with an identity transformation:

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Then add a template that does nothing with text node children of <td>
elements:

<xsl:template match="td/text()" />

Alternatively, add a template that only applies templates to the
element children of the <td> element, rather than to all its child
nodes:

<xsl:template match="td">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,

Jeni
