Yes.  The simplest answer is

(default (make element
	       gi: (gi (current-node))
	       attributes: (some-function)))

Where (some-function) is something like (attributes (current-node)),
but I'm working from home today and 10179 is at work.

However, this will produce things like <img></img> which isn't
desirable.  I've also found that (make element) with no content
expression will sometimes produce only a start-tag.  For a fixed DTD,
you can try this:

(default (if (member (gi (current-node))
		     empty-element-list)
	     (make empty-element
		   gi: (gi (current-node))
		   attributes: (some-function))
	     (make element
		   gi: (gi (current-node))
		   attributes: (some-function))))

where empty-element-list is something like '("BR" "HR" "IMG" "LINK"
"META").

HTH,
Chris
