Yes. The output method defaults to HTML if the outermost element in the result tree is an <html> element in the null namespace. And whether or not the output method is HTML, elements in a non-null namespace are serialized using XML rules, so an empty <br> element in the XHTML namespace is written as <br/>. > > I guess I don't understand when: > <xsl:output method="html" encoding="??????????"/> > The encoding has any effect on the outcome. > The encoding parameter affects the outcome if (a) you are using the XSLT processor to do the serialization (and not, say, the DOM save method), and (b) the destination of the output is a byte stream rather than a character stream. A common mistake for Microsoft users is to serialize to a character stream, in which case the final encoding is outside the control of the XSLT processor. Michael Kay
