While XSLT 1.0 does not specify an XHTML output method, Xalan does support it 
(and XSLT processors are allowed by the XSLT 1.0 specs to support additional 
output methods).

Post-processing the output in sed, or piping it through jtidy, would be trivial 
indeed, however not in an environment where the output from Xalan is served to 
the client directly.

It's not as simple as adding a space before the />, while <br></br>, <br/> and 
<br /> are all valid and equivalent in XML terms, only one of these works with 
browsers currently in use still, <br />. On the other hand, <p /> would be a bad 
idea because it crashes browsers (again, valid XML and even valid XHTML but 
still not usable in real-world applications( and needs to be serialized as 
<p></p>.
