Hi. I have such XSLT code:
...
   <br/>
   <img src="test.jpg"/>
...

When i'm using output method="html", i
have  <br/> and <img/> tags transformed to  <br></br>  and  <img></img>.

This is not conformant behaviour:


  http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method
  The html output method should not output an end-tag for
  empty elements. For HTML 4.0, the empty elements are area,
  base, basefont, br, col, frame, hr, img, input, isindex,
  link, meta and param. For example, an element written as
  <br/> or <br></br> in the stylesheet should be output as
  <br>.

I'm using Apache and PHP  XSLT transform.
phpinfo: libxslt Version 1.1.17 libxslt compiled
against libxml Version 2.6.26 EXSLT enabled libexslt Version 0.8.13

Can you change the XSLT processor or review bug reports for any fixes?


I hope this helps.
