There is a property named "must-omit-end-tag?" on nodes of class ELEMENT
that
can be used to see if the end-tag must be omitted (either because the
element has a content model of EMPTY or because it has a CONREF
attribute value specified):

(define (output-element #!optional (node (current-node)))
  (if (node-property "must-omit-end-tag?" node)
      (make empty-element
        attributes: (copy-attributes))
      (make element
        attributes: (copy-attributes))))
