Re: xalan ignores xsl:output method="html"?

I had the same problem with <script> tags in IE with XHTML. Here's what I ended up doing that worked. I put a semicolon in there, so it was just an empty statement and didn't bother anything.

<script src="script.js" type="text/JavaScript">;</script>

Generally, Xalan doesn't know about any browser-specific issues.
Do people want separate serializers for every version of every
browser?

Can the problem be worked around by sticking a space or comment
into the element? That would force separate start and end tags.
<div><!-- IE has a bug --></div>
If that sort of workaround is not available, then file a bug
report in Bugzilla, so we at least have it tracked. If you file a
report, state as much as you can about the versions of IE that
have the bug, and cite their bug identifier if known.
