The priority was set by the original reporter of the problem. I guess Marco didn't feel it was a particularly important problem. > If nobody is trying to resolve it should I try to resolve it by myself? You should always feel free to at work on any problem that interests you. I don't know that anyone is actively working on that particular problem. The extent of the support for XHTML serialization is really very limited - elements that are empty are emitted with a space before the closing "/>" characters. Support for XHTML is not something that is required (or specified) by XSLT 1.0 or by JAXP, so not much effort ever went into providing a full-featured implementation of XHTML serialization. > And if so should I fix it based on 2.6.0 or on the HEAD? It's preferable if patches are based on the head of the MAIN branch. I suggest you take a look at org.apache.xml.serializer.ToHTMLStream.m_elementFlags for an idea of how you might handle this problem. > Any ideas about when a new version of XalanJ will be released? There was some discussion of a Xalan-J 2.7.0 release that would include support for the transform and XPath APIs of JAXP 1.3, but that stalled when Sun ran into some legal snags with releasing its reference implementation of JAXP 1.3. I'm not sure where the legal discussions between Sun and Apache sit today.
