Well, you could either create templates for handling subtitle and date for
footer, perhaps
using a mode:

<xsl:template match="subtitle" mode="footer">

and the use <xsl:apply-templates select="/book/bookinfo/subtitle"
mode="footer"/>

or you could just select the content of the subtitle:

<xsl:apply-templates select="/book/bookinfo/subtitle/node()"/>
