RE: How to output open/close tags independently?

Ed -- 

Take a look at this entry in the XSLT FAQ
(http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7450.html#d7287e352) to see the
canonically recommended method. While it's part of the "Tables" page in the
FAQ (because that seems to be the context that most frequently gives rise to
this question), it sure looks like it addresses your problem.
