I also tried to change the xpath to put the 2 templates together but got the 
same results:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:template match="address">
       <dataset>
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </dataset>
   </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="tag|section/tag">
       <address>
          <sectionNumber>
               <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::section/@Comp"/>
         </sectionNumber>
          <name>
                <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
            </name>
            <value>
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </value>
       </address>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
