I don't know if this is standard or a jade extension but there is a node
property "must-omit-end-tag?" on element nodes that is true if the end tag
for the element must be omitted (not sure what that means exactly). You can
use it as follows:

...
(if (node-property "must-omit-end-tag?" (current-node))
    (make empty-element ...)
    (make element ...)
)
