[xml] xsltproc outputs invalid meta tag for xhtml

[Erich Schubert <erich debian org>]

Hi,
i've been transforming xml to xhtml via an xslt stylesheet using "html"
output mode (so empty tags don't get folded).
I'm happy with the result except for two small things:

xsltproc inserts a meta tag which is not valid xhtml:
the tag is not closed, neither <meta ... /> nor <meta ..></meta>
I am not aware of some browser not supporting the latter notation.

second: can i have xsltproc output
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
even in html mode? then the resulting file would be valid xhtml.

I tried using xml output mode, but that had unwanted side effects, too -
like <div> </div> becoming <div/>.

Greetings,
Erich Schubert
