Is there any good mechanism to get Jade and other SP-based tools to
recognize the XML <tag/> syntax for empty tags? I set up the environment
variable as specified in the docs:

SP_CHARSET_FIXED=YES
SP_ENCODING=XML
SGML_CATALOG_FILES=d:\jade\test\pubtest\xml.soc

and passed the -wxml parameters, but I still get a "character data is not
allowed here" whenever it sees a <tag/>. <tag></tag> doesn't work either,
unless I change the DTD to allow non-empty elements.
