Hi,
if you really want to do this then you are going to have to detect
when an element is empty. Take a look in SAX2PrintHandlers. Currently the
start tag is written out as soon as soon as startElement is called. You
could stop this from happening and only print it out once you have some
content. Then, in endElement if it has not yet been printed out you know
it is an empty tag and can act accordingly.
