Re: [xsl] Closing element required instead of self closing

In that case you can not be generating XML (as the XML specification
requires all XML applications not to distinguish these forms)

so the simplest thing is not to use the xml output method.

If for some strange reason you do need the form with two tages then if
white space is allowed, you can use 
<foo><xsl:text> </xsl:text></foo> which will produce <foo> </foo> 
but if you really need <foo></foo> then you will need a non standartd
serialisation option, or post process with a non-xml tool such as perl,
as this is a non-xml requirement.
