How about:
---
<xsl:template match="root">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:call-template name="header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:call-template name="footer"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="header">
My header stuff.
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="footer">
My footer stuff.
</xsl:template>
---
This can be an inlcude to your more specific "content.xsl"
