short and long empty xml elements

Hi List,

a need to create a xml document that does not contain short empty elements
like <a/> but instead like this <a></a>. I know this is the same, but the
parser of the target system does not recognize the first version. I use xalan
or saxon. Is there a way to control the kind of output in XSLT ? Currently I
run a sed command to replace the first by the second version.
