Reformatting problem for the Device Description Repository Simple API standard

Hi Ian and al,

Thanks for the new site!

The reformatting of the Device Description Repository Simple API 
standard yields strange results (in Firefox 3.0), see for instance:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/site-comments/2009Oct/#sec-Service-factory-methods

I suspect that this may be due to some XHTML served as HTML issue due to 
an unexpected empty tag. The reformatted source is:
  <h4><a name="sec-Service-factory-methods" 
id="sec-Service-factory-methods"/>4.3.1 Factory Methods</h4>

... whereas the initial source was:
  <h4><a name="sec-Service-factory-methods" 
id="sec-Service-factory-methods"></a>4.3.1 Factory Methods</h4>

Difference is <a [...] /> instead of <a [...]></a>

Firefox renders the document as if the "a" element spanned the rest of 
the document.
If XSLT is used to reformat the recommendations, there should be a 
specific setting to force the XSLT engine to generate XHTML that is HTML 
compatible. The setting might not have been set?

Thanks,
Francois.
