Try this:-

    <xsl:template match="/addresses">
        <dataset>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="address" />
        </dataset>
    </xsl:template>

Its usually a good idea to make sure your first template matches the
document root element and if possible use an explicit select on
apply-templates.
