(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags) > C.3. Element Minimization and Empty Element Content > Given an empty instance of an element whose content model > is not EMPTY (for example, an empty title or paragraph) do > not use the minimized form (e.g. use <p> </p> and not <p />). (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines) - The patch: Elements like <p> or <div> aren't declared as EMPTY in the XHTML DTD. According to XML and XHTML standards, the <div></div> form should be used instead of <div/>. Both are XML (and XHTML) valid, but the second leads to strange problems with some browsers (guess who --- IE).
