Another csplit approch :
Code:
$ cat sasi.xml
<?xml version="UTF_8">
<emp: ....>
 <name>a</name>
 <age>10</age>
</emp>
<?xml version="UTF_8">
<emp: ....>
 <name>b</name>
 <age>10</age>
</emp>
<?xml version="UTF_8">
<emp: ....>
 <name>c</name>
 <age>10</age>
</emp>
$ csplit -f sasi -b _%d.xml -z sasi.xml '/<\/emp>/1' '{*}'
73

73
$ ls -l sasi_*.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 Jean-Pierre Aucun 73 2010-07-25 12:18 sasi_0.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 Jean-Pierre Aucun 73 2010-07-25 12:18 sasi_1.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 Jean-Pierre Aucun 73 2010-07-25 12:18 sasi_2.xml
$ head sasi*_*.xml
==> sasi_0.xml <==
<?xml version="UTF_8">
<emp: ....>
 <name>a</name>
 <age>10</age>
</emp>

==> sasi_1.xml <==
<?xml version="UTF_8">
<emp: ....>
 <name>b</name>
 <age>10</age>
</emp>

==> sasi_2.xml <==
<?xml version="UTF_8">
<emp: ....>
 <name>c</name>

csplit command has many limits in this case. For example, if there are other lines between </emp> and <?xml version="UTF_8">, you will get wrong o/p.
