[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: tag minimisation
 The serialization issue shouldn't arise with any of the XML parsers if you're trying to produce HTML. Do you have an <xsl:output method="html"/> element in your stylesheet? If you want to ouput HTML (which is not well-formed) then you'll need to specify this. For XML, tag structure for empty elements is irrelevant.
