Thanks Cas,
In our case it turns out that it is XML transforms happening long before
XSL comes on the scene that are causing the minimisation.
Although, I suppose we could then use XSL to find nodes with no content,
and then 'un-minimise' them by inserting some comments text. Hmm.. it's
worth a go I suppose.
Ta,
Ben

Ben,
I inserted an html comment:
<script ...><!--Leave this here to solve and IE bug--></script>
because I found the problem while using the Nvu 0.81 (X)HTML editor
which insists on collapsing empty tags into self-contained tags.
Because a few people still insist on using IE here, above tag will
remind HTML coders to not remove it.
If you're doing XML to HTML via XSLT it is less likely that people
will later hand-edit the HTML, so you can get away with just a space
in the tag.

We have yet to find a way to stop tags containing no content from
being collapsed :
e.g.
<script></script> is always output as <script/> or
<textarea></textarea> as <textarea/>
This is sending us barking as browsers do not treat the two
different renditions equally.
