Thank you for your suggestion.

The XSL Working Group discussed your suggestion at its 25 October 2007
teleconference and noted that the description of the xml output method in the
Serialization Recommendation permits a conforming serializer to represent empty
tags in either of the ways you mention.  As such, a conforming serializer can
already provide an implementation-specific option to the user to select which
style of empty tag is desired.

For this reason, the working group has decided not to add such a feature or
option as a requirement for a future revision of either the XSLT or
Serialization recommendations.
