RE: Getting expanded empty tag format

Hi Gary.

I know it's kind of a hack, but could you put a space, non-breaking
space or <wbr/> element inside the <p>?  If you're primarily concerned
with how the browser interprests the XML there's usually something you
can do to force the tag not to be minimized without effecting how it
displays.
