I don't think it is valid to have an opening tag and a closing tag with
nothing in between. So an initial <or> and a final </or>, as you recall
it, should become <or/>.
Second, I'm not sure I understand what you want to accomplish. From the
example document you added is this the result you expect:
<And>
<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>
<Literal>ontophaugs332</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>
<Or/>
<Or/>
</And>
