Indeed that is the question, unfortunately NS 4.X is still in common use and does not understand tags written as <br/> or <textarea/>, (as do many, still common, versions of IE.) I could certainly roll my own serializer, wrapped around SAXON or something, but it seems a bit odd that a framework like C2 would only support the most recent browser versions (which is not a complaint, rather it's something that makes me think I'm the one doing something wrong.)
Thanks for the feedback.
