Re: Empty element tags

James,

As a content creator, I tend to agree that it is easier to write <empty foo="bar"/> than it is to write <empty foo="bar"></empty> 

More importantly, the empty element version reinforces the notion that content is not allowed inside of this element. Thus it assists writers and editors who may not be experts in markup languages. 

On the other hand, I often forget the trailing /
