Well, it does matter.

I will give you some code:

<style>
  span p {margin-left:0em}
  p {margin-left:2.5em}
</style>
<body>
  <span></span>
  <p>Hello</p>
  <span/>
  <p>world</p>
</body>

The output you will get in IE5.5 is:

	Hello
World

The <p> after the minimised <span/> does not pick up its CSS style properly.
>From a few tests, I found that msxml2.6 converted <span></span> to <span/>
whilst MSXML3 and Instant Saxon left it as <span></span> (and not causing a
problem).

Ive tried converting the above to xhtml, but that doesnt solve the problem
either.

Has anyone had similar problems with tag minimisation, and any possible
solutions?



cheers

No it is entirely up to the system how it linearises empty elements:
some XSLT systems use <p/> some <p></p> .Since every XML system will
treet these identically it shouldn't matter which you get.
