In order to get <sec/> to output like <sec></sec>, try adding method="html" to your xsl:output (if you have one?).

Example:

XML Input (well-formed):

<Employees>
  <employee>
    <dept>1</dept>
    <sec/>
  </employee>
  <employee>
    <dept>2</dept>
    <sec/>
  </employee>
</Employees>

XSLT 1.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output indent="yes" method="html"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Employees">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <totalemp><xsl:value-of select="count(employee)"/></totalemp>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

XML Output (tested with Xalan and Saxon 6.5.5)

<Employees>
   <totalemp>2</totalemp>
   <employee>
      <dept>1</dept>
      <sec></sec>
   </employee>
   <employee>
      <dept>2</dept>
      <sec></sec>
   </employee>
</Employees>
