Always a good choice :)
Using xsl to get that html:
<span><xsl:value-of select="whatever"/></span> and 'whatever' is nothing,
msxml2.6 outputs
<span/>
whereas msxml3/4 and instant saxon outputs
<span></span>
The minimised <span/> highlights the problem (bug?) with css as Ive
mentioned, which is why I was asking if there was a way of forcing the
parser to not minimise.

No, it doesn't - for an XML parser.

When you feed (X)HTML into IE5.5, the normal HTML processor displays it.
Contrary to popular belief, IE is NOT an XHTML processor, so you can't rely
on XML's syntactical features.
So the best solution is to feed HTML into IE.
