Strange XSLT Behavior: xsl:template match

Question

Hello I found the following strange XSLT behavior when using xsl:template. I only want to read the content of the element /Source/Surname/Details. Therefore I match this path using xsl:template match.
What is strange that in the target message also the value of the Element LastName is written at the end. Please see example below. This is just a short example to point out the problem. I have a bigger message structure where I have to match a similar path. How can I avoid the the value of the FullDetails is just written at the end (not even beeing in an element)? I would have expected that the path is only matched once and the instructions then executed without <LastName> beeing even touched.I used XML Spy for this test.
Here is an example:
Source message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Source>
     <Surname>
          <Details>MyFirstName</Details>
     </Surname>
     <LastName>
          <FullDetails> MyLastName </FullDetails>
     </LastName>
</Source>
XSLT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template match="/Source/Surname">
<PORR>
<Name><xsl:value-of select="Details"/></Name>
</PORR>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Target Message
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PORR xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<Name>MyFirstName</Name></PORR>MyLastName

Hi,
I am not sure why your XSLT behaving like that,please try this XSL,what i did chnages is Templete match /*,I given exact path in Value of select,.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template match="/*">
<PORR>
<Name><xsl:value-of select="/Source/Surname/Details"/></Name>
</PORR>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
