I have a template like this: That is not conformant behaviour. If your output method is HTML and the element type is an HTML element type, then that *is* the expected output because in that case SGML conventions are used, but otherwise a conforming processor would put out the following XML conventions for the default XML output method: <foo bar="some foo"/> or <foo bar="some foo"></foo> which are equivalent. I have tried this with the same results on several varieties of MSXML, and on Xalan-1 and Xalan-2 Please check your <xsl:output/> instruction for the use of HTML ... but your report is not at all consistent with my expectations of MSXML and Xalan, both of which should be producing a properly constructed empty element. If you think you are engaging everything properly, then please post a short (15 line?) complete stylesheet that illustrates your results so that others can run your stylesheet on their system. I hope this helps. ....................... Ken
