If Cocoon could be convinced not to output XML empty element syntax, that would presumably fix the problem at its source. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to do that. I did find a problem related to this that perhaps the larger Manakin dev group might want to address. The template for dri:div checks to see whether there are any child nodes, and if not, pops in a non-breaking space to avoid the empty-element problem. Unfortunately, some static divs (e.g. Recent Submissions, community/collection descriptions) actually pull their information from METS further down in the DRI file, so this test doesn't always work. I have a workaround in my utility code (because undescribed collections/communities were breaking my layout!), but man, is it ever ugly. I'm sure a better job could be done! What I did was check the value of the n attribute and write separate "emptiness" tests based on that. For example, if n = 'collection-view', run down into the METS to see if there is actually a collection description before writing out any HTML.
