That if IE really did honour the empty element syntax in this markup:
<div/>div
<p/>p
<ul><li/>li</ul>
Then the DOM should have looked like this:
* BODY
+ DIV
+ #text: div
+ P
+ #text: p
+ UL
# LI
# #text: li
However, as the DOM view showed, it looks no different from what you
would get without the XML empty element syntax, like this
<div>div
<p>p
<ul><li>li</ul>
