you have an apply-templates, the default template on a text node copies
the text.

Yes. This will do nothing on the elements themselves, but recurse on the
contents.

Also of course you are aplying templates to teh white space nodes used
for indentation in the original file so all line breaks and spaces there
will be copied as well.
