You appear to be writing html. If the top level element of your output
is <html> (in any case) then the XSLT processor should default to html
output method.

In this method empty elements will not be output using xml empty element
syntax.

If for some reason you are generating html which does not start with
an html element then you can force html output using
<xsl:output method="html"/>
