Well, <div/> is in XML format. So we need to understand what's happening to
this XML and why it's being passed to something that can't handle it.

It could well be because with:


<div class="bold"/>sometext

the text "sometext" will take on the bold style, whereas with

<div class="bold"></div>sometext

...it wont.

This is why I asked for a "don't minimise" output option (or
prioprietary extension) long ago, and the general response was - as
the two are equivalent it shouldn't matter (which I agree with now :)

In the end the "xhtml" output option of 2.0 came along which did the trick.
