Apply-templates - how to omit top level element tags?

xml file top level element
To all:

I'm trying to figure out how to use <xsl:apply-templates> (or anything
else) to get the right output:

I've got an XML file and am generated XHTML.

In my XSL file, I have the following variable and template:

==========================================
<xsl:variable name="trademark-symbol">&#8482;</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="htsg:TrademarkSymbol" name="htsg:TrademarkSymbol">
	<xsl:value-of select="$trademark-symbol"/> </xsl:template>
==========================================

In my XML file, I have a fragment that looks like this:

==========================================
<Name>This is the Title of the Publication<myns:TrademarkSymbol/></Name>
==========================================

I want to generate output that looks like this:

==========================================
<h1>This is the Title of the Publication(tm)</h1>
==========================================

However, if I use this in my XSL:

==========================================
<h1><xsl:apply-templates select="Name"/></h1>
==========================================

I get the following that includes the <Name> element:

==========================================
<h1><Name>This is the Title of the Publication(tm)</Name></h1>
==========================================

When I try instead to use this:

==========================================
<h1><xsl:value-of select="Name/text()"/></h1>
==========================================

I just get this w/o the trademark:

==========================================
<h1>This is the Title of the Publication</h1>
==========================================

Again, this is what I want to generate as output:

==========================================
<h1>This is the Title of the Publication(tm)</h1>
==========================================


I look forward and appreciate any suggestions, even those that might
have be taking a completely different route, but I also really want to
understand how to accomplish this using apply-templates or value-of or
whatever.

Thanks in advance for your help.
