This just isn't possible for some HTML tags. Eg for tags like <IMG>and
<INPUT>using something like </INPUT> isn't meaningful.

Well from what I've seen, Netscape and IE both support wellformed
HTML. At least, they do for <INPUT ../>. I've changed over from using
Cocoon to LotusXSL and found that where I could just throw out <INPUT>
in Cocoon, this isn't allowed with LotusXSL and I have to output
<INPUT />. So far, this appears ok in all the browsers I've tried.

Does anyone else have anymore information on what is and isn't supported
in terms of well-formed HTML by the various browsers and XSL
processors?
