There is no need for such an attribute, because MSXML3 handles
the two cases differently. If you specify in your stylesheet
<div style="display: none"/> it becomes <div style="display: none" />
(invalid html)
but
<div style="display: none"></div> becomes <div style="display: none"></div>
in the output.

Note that there is _no_ need to using nbsp or xsl:comment to ensure valid html !
