Fabrizio Giudici commented on XALANJ-1906:
------------------------------------------
*Eight* years since this bug has been filed. I don't understand why it's
"minor" priority, given that producing correct XHTML might be one of the most
common tasks a web developer has got to fullfill these days.
Matteo's solution seems the most logical. Any chance to see it implemented
soon?
In the meantime, is there any workaround that one can apply to Xalan embedded
in JDK6 / 7? Thanks.

> > whether or not it is declared using the keyword EMPTY.
> > For interoperability, the empty-element tag SHOULD be used, and
> > SHOULD only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY.
> (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).
> Hope this helps,
