Thanks David.
So I have written..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:element name="xsl:template">
<xsl:attribute name="match">xyz</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It gives me output :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="xyz"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Which is what I need.
Can you please comment whether the above syntax is the best way to start..
Thank you.

Because that is what you put in the stylesheet.
<![CDATA[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
in an XML file is exactly the same thing as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
Just as <a="2"> is the same thing as <a = '2' >
In both cases the XML parser will report the same thing so XSLT will see
the same input.(A parser may have the possibility of reporting that
CDATA quoting was used but XSLT and most other XML systems won't use
that).
CDATA is just a convenience of human authors to save quoting every < and
&. Since you want to generate element nodes you don't want CDATA at all
you want,eg
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
