Thanks to you and Mike, I now understand what's happening.

Tidy generates xml with a default namespace -

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

saxon recognises this as html and does the right thing, but msxsl thinks it's just another xml grammar and generates xml style output for it. Once I got rid of the namespace declaration msxsl.exe now generates good html with, as Mike predicted, rather less pretty formatting.

Thanks again guys - you wouldn't believe how frustrated I was getting!

Francis.

If a system is using the XML empty element syntax in the html output
method then that is definitely a bug that should be reported.

If you were using an "identity transform" rather than simply copy-of
you could probably work round it by having templates for those elements
that added some white space inside the element content.
