 tag minimisation
When elements like <div></div> get minimised by the processor to <div/>
it's *really* frustrating.

I cannot stress how annoying it is to find that because you have an
element in your data that is empty, you get a minimised ouput element
where all following elements 'inherit' the style...

For example:

<div style="font-weight:bold"/>
<div>foo</div>

will give you a bold 'foo'.

I appreciate that html/css is at fault, but surely its easy to add a
minimisation='no' extension until browsers catch up...?  That or
continue the advice of 'add a space to the end of the element to prevent
it getting minimised'...

At the moment I can see no real benefit of enforcing minimisation.

cheers
andrew
