instead of in Xalan output

[Schubert Walther]

Dear list,
I need to generate SGML instances for FrameMaker 6 from XML instances.
There is a problem with elements that are empty, but not declared EMPTY in the
SGML DTD:

>From the XSLT script I write elements with their start and end tags which are 
>possibly empty.
When such elements happen to be empty, Xalan produces the <../> notation 
instead of an explicit end tag.

Is there an easy (no Java programming) way to force Xalan to write an expilicit 
end tag?

Thanks to all.

Walther
