try this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0">

<xsl:template match="doc">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="SECTION">
	<SECTION>
	<xsl:if test="count(SUMMARY)=0">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="DATA"/>
	</xsl:if>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="SUMMARY"/>
	</SECTION>
</xsl:template>

<!-- copy elements straight through -->
<xsl:template match="*|@*" priority="-1">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*|text()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
