how to <xsl:apply-templates /> for ELEMENT nodes only?

At the moment, I have

 <!-- lots of imported templates in this XSL file -->
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
   <head>
    <title>UC Policy Database</title>
    <link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" href="policydb_content.css"/>
   </head>
   <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
    <xsl:call-template name="header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//menu" mode="menu"/>&#xa0; <xsl:apply-templates />
    <xsl:call-template name="footer"/>
   </body>
  </html>
 </xsl:template>

But in order to stop the text node from being spewed out by default, I have to explicityly surpress it with
<xsl:template match="//text()" />

While this works, surely there is a more elegant way. The source XML uses an informal schema designed by someone else which mixes text with elements (document centric schema). I'm halfway through overhauling their XSLT templates and I just want all templates matching any type of element to be applied.
