Feature not bug, surely.

It could output as <node/> on tuesdays and <node></node> on wednesdays
and <node /> at other times, and still conform to the spec.

Actually msxml has some hueristics to decide which form to use, I think
if you copy an empty node from the source you get/> syntax but because
you used xsl:copy with content (even though that content only ended
up generating attributes) it uses ></ syntax. But since the spec allows
any legal serialisation to use, any hueristics used by the system are
allowed.
