Build nodes from xpath - xslt

Question

I have a source xml and from this source xml I like to select the nodes given by a path e.g. /shiporder/item/title and /shiporder/shipto/name from the sample source:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<shiporder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" orderid="orderid1">
<orderperson>orderperson1</orderperson>
<shipto>
<name>name1</name>
</shipto>
<item>
<title>foo</title>
</item>
<item>
<title>bar</title>
</item>
</shiporder>
And I like to transform those nodes to certain target tree e.g. each /shiporder/item/title from the source xml should copied to root/Customer/Name/Title in the target xml tree. So my idea was to generate for each level in the source path a template and call this template from the preceding level:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:func="http://www.functx.com">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<root>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/shiporder"/>
</root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/shiporder">
<Customer>
<xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="shipto"/>
</Customer>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/shiporder/item">
<Name>
<xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
</Name>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/shiporder/shipto">
<Address>
<xsl:apply-templates select="name"/>
</Address>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/shiporder/item/title">
<Title>
<xsl:value-of select="text()" />
</Title>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/shiporder/shipto/name">
<Street>
<xsl:value-of select="text()" />
</Street>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
There for I get a huge stylesheet if I have a huge list of source-paths. Has some one a more feasible idea to reach the target?
