New Comment:
Little notice about the final fix, there is now three cases:
$xml->writeElement('foo', '');
<foo></foo>
$xml->writeElement('foo', null);
<foo/>
$xml->writeElement('foo');
<foo/>
Doing it this way preserves BC while allowing the short form.

Description:
------------
Currently Xmlwriter::WriteElement() and Xmlwriter::WriteElementNS()
require the forth argument $content and are therefor not able to output
empty tags. Someone has to use XmlWriter::startElement(); and
XmlWriter::endElement(); to output an empty tag. That's a bit
cumbersome.
It would be nice if $content could be made optional or set to null to
output an empty tag. I know it's the documented behavior, that it always
write a a full element tag and libxml2 does have the same behavior.
Nevertheless it would be a nice addition to be able to write less code
for a short tag.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xml = new XmlWriter();
$xml->openMemory();
$xml->startDocument();
$xml->startElement('test');
$xml->writeElement('foo', null);
$xml->startElement('bar');
$xml->endElement('bar');
$xml->endElement();
echo $xml->outputMemory();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test><foo/><bar/></test>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test><foo></foo><bar/></test>
