Adding additional element on xml using xsl

Question

Below is the actual xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Procedures>
 <Title>ABC</Title>
 <P>CS</P>
 <div><P>sse</P></div>
</Procedures>

And i want the output as below:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Procedures>
     <Title>ABC</Title>
     <body>
       <P>CS</P>
       <div><P>sse</P></div>
     </body>
    </Procedures>

Is this possible to add XML element in between using xslt? Please give me sample!

Assuming Title is the only element that should be outside of the body you could use the following XLST 1.0 stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="Procedures">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|Title"/>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::Title)]"/>
      </body>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You could do this with xmlstarlet, e.g.:

xmlstarlet ed -s /Procedures --type elem -n body \
              -m Procedures/P   Procedures/body  \
              -m Procedures/div Procedures/body  \
              infile.xml

That is, add a subnode body, move P and div to that subnode. Output:

<Procedures>
  <Title>ABC</Title>
  <body>
    <P>CS</P>
    <div>
      <P>sse</P>
    </div>
  </body>
</Procedures>

@ShantoGeorge: this solution uses xmlstarlet which generates xsl code and applies it directly
