Oh, and here's the resultant HTML (I think I needed <xsl:output> to omit
the XML markup):
===[XML]==================================================
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Test.xsl">
<How-To-Select xmlns:htsg="http://www.howtoselectguides.com/schema/";>
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">
<title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<h1><Name>A ProductName<TrademarkSymbol></TrademarkSymbol> is part of my
title<TrademarkSymbol></TrademarkSymbol></Name></h1>
<h1>A ProductName is part of my title</h1>
<h1><Name>A ProductName<TrademarkSymbol></TrademarkSymbol> is part of my
title<TrademarkSymbol></TrademarkSymbol></Name></h1>
<h1>A ProductName<TrademarkSymbol></TrademarkSymbol> is part of my
title<TrademarkSymbol></TrademarkSymbol></h1>
This is some more text just for show.
</body>
</html></How-To-Select>

Subject: RE: [xsl] Apply-templates - how to omit top level element tags?
If the problem isn't yet solved, could we trouble you to repost a
demonstration?
As a former programming instructor and author of training materials and
a book on programming, I generally understand how to present info in
detail, and I thought I had. But obviously not, so here's a complete
example (for posterity only, because I've solved the problem as you'll
see in comments):
===[XML]==================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Test.xsl"?> <How-To-Select
xmlns:htsg="http://www.howtoselectguides.com/schema/";>
<Guide>
<Name>A ProductName<TrademarkSymbol/> is part of my
title<TrademarkSymbol/></Name>
<Sections>
<Section>Section 1</Section>
<Section>Section 2</Section>
<Section>Section 3</Section>
</Sections>
</Guide>
</How-To-Select>
===[XSL]==================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:variable name="trademark-symbol">™</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Trademark">
<xsl:value-of select="$trademark-symbol"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/How-To-Select/Guide">
<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<h1>
<!-- THIS DIDN'T WORK - INCLUDE
<Name/> TAGS -->
<xsl:apply-templates
select="Name"/>
</h1>
<h1>
<!-- THIS DIDN'T WORK - OMITS
Trademark Symbol -->
<xsl:value-of select="Name"/>
</h1>
<h1>
<!-- THIS DIDN'T WORK - INCLUDES
<Name/>, <Trademark/>, DOES NOT EXPAND <Trademark/> -->
<xsl:copy-of select="Name"/>
</h1>
<h1>
<!-- THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED -->
<xsl:apply-templates
select="Name/node()"/>
</h1>
This is some more text just for show.
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
