Almost identical templates

I have the following template in my stylesheet:

   <xsl:template match="TOC">
       <div class="section">
           <span class="ref">TOC</span><br />
           <xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()" />
       </div>
   </xsl:template>

I also have:

   <xsl:template match="HEADER">
       <div class="section">
           <span class="ref">HEADER</span><br />
           <xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()" />
       </div>
   </xsl:template>

Infact I have quite a few of these almost identical templates, is there a way I could do this

   <xsl:template match="*">
       <div class="section">
           <span class="ref">***MAGIC***</span><br />
           <xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()" />
       </div>
   </xsl:template>

Where ***MAGIC*** picks out the tag name that it matched on?

I'm sure that this can be done but my brain is not working at present.
