RE: What is wrong with this xsl ?

Please explain what your desired output is.  It is not clear from you xslt file.  I think you might be confusing the match and name in the xsl:template and not understanding namespaces.   You have defined the xsl as the namespace for the xsl language 

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 

Unless you source document is in xsl (it isn't) you should not place this namespace marker before elements that you wish to match that are not xsl.

match = "xsl:survey"

The only template you have supplied that can match the survey element is

<xsl:template match="*"/>

which will just remove it as you have seen.

match = "/xsl:survey/xsl:section"
match = "xsl:survey"

won't.

Hi,
I have the following xsl code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

[lsunkara@ateserver ateserver2003]$ cat
XSLSource/SectionForm/split.xsl 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
       
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
       
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/TR/xhtml1/strict">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="4.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

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

<xsl:template name="survey" match = "xsl:survey" >
        <survey>
                <xsl:copy-of select =
"/survey/surveyInfo"/>
                <xsl:call-template name = "section"/>
        </survey>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "/xsl:survey/xsl:section" name =
"section" >
        <xsl:variable name = "file" select = "@id" />
        <section sname = "{$file}" number =
"{position()}" href = "{$file}" />
        <xsl:document href = "{$file}" >
                <xsl:copy-of select =
"/survey/section" />
        </xsl:document>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "*" >
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet> 
When I run this code as under it does not execute the
template for survey, it only executes the "/"
template.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
#This script uses the Xalan tool to translate a survey
section

XSL=XSLSource/SectionForm/split.xsl

INPUT=XMLSource/demo-survey.xml
OUTPUT=split1.xml

java -classpath $LOCALCLASSPATH
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN $INPUT -OUT $OUTPUT
-XSL $XSL -INDENT 2 -TT 

The xml looks like:
<survey>
<surveyInfo>
</surveyInfo>
<intro>
</intro>
<section id="test">
<question></question>
</section>
</survey>
