Re: [xml] Self terminating tags

["Cyberthymia" <cyberthymia yahoo co uk>]

Ummm

Please ignore my last post - the variable should be set to 0, which it is by
default.

In a blatant attempt to try and recover some dignity, is this XML being
generated from an XSLT transform?

I've had a quick look in the source and there appears to be a problem where
if you are doing something like
<tag><xsl:value-of select="..."></tag>
and the select doesn't actually return anything, then libxml is still trying
to output an empty text element instead of an empty tag.

I'll fix this and post a patch this afternoon.
