RE: XSL transformation removing closing tag for empty

If you use the XML output method then the system assumes that the output is
going to be read by an XML parser and that any well-formed XML
representation of the output will be OK.

I still don't understand why you are using the XML output method and then
sending the output to something that doesn't accept well-formed XML.
