This is because the "default template" is being used as you haven't
specified a root matching template.  This will apply-templates down
through the tree copying each text node to the output.

Add a root matching template that only selects the element you want :

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/project/namespace/querySubject/queryItem"/>
</xsl:template>
