You would be better off to figure out how to get your output without
using d-o-e.  Undoubtedly it can be done.  The stylesheet has to be
organized so as to create well-formed fragments (that is, complete
elements).  

I have made collapsing trees using javascript and css, using xslt to
create the nested <div> elements, and I did not have to use d-o-e to do
it (my method requires the browser to have a decent DOM, though, so it
only works with recent versons of IE and Mozilla-based browsers).

It seems that you want to create the referenced results but not to use
the referenced javascript libraries.  There is therefore no reason to
rely on outdated html-specific (and probably invalid) notions such as
not closing div elements.
