RE: XSLT empty tag representation

How about
 
sed 's/<([^ >]*)( [^>]*)\/>/<\1\2><\/\1>/g'
 
?

	I've transferred this enhancement request to the bugzilla
database at
	 
	http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4962
	 
	Please use the bugzilla entry for any subsequent correspondence
so that we can track it.
	 
	I've entered it as a requirement on the serialization spec,
since if we decide to recognize this as a requirement then it lies in
the serialization space. 
	 
	(Personally, though, I wouldn't hold out high hopes unless you
can find a stronger justification. I don't think that the requirements
of people processing XML without using a "real XML parser" come very
high in W3C's list of priorities.)

		I have found in my work that it is sometimes helpful to
produce XML
		output that is not always parsed by a real XML parser.
Specifically, it would
		be helpful if I could have an XSLT processing
instruction which would 
		represent empty tags as <tag></tag> instead of <tag />.
I do not
		believe such an instruction currently exists in any XSLT
		specifications and thought you might consider it for
future versions.
