I think the phrase "mixed content" in your subject is confusing me.  At any
rate...

Something like this...

	<!-- ignore everything -->
	<xsl:template match="*" />

	<!-- ...except for elements X, Y and Z -->
	<xsl:template match="X|Y|Z">
	  <xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy" select="*|*@" />
  	<xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="*|*@|text()" mode="copy" />
	   <xsl:copy/>
	<xsl:template>
