Since there are already two options (output-xhtml and output-xml) for defining the output, I would think that if you using output-xhtml, you should not convert empty elements, with both start and end tags (i.e., <empty></empty) to an empty element with a single tag (i.e., <element />). If you are using output-xml, then doing the conversion makes sense, IMO. I hope that made some sense. -- Kipp E.
