[xml] Problems with xmllint, formating and HTML

[Oliver Fischer <plexus snafu de>]

Hello,

today I tinkered with xmllint and the option --format, to reformat some 
of my html pages.

I called xmllint that way:

xmllint --html --format -o result.html eingabe.html

eingabe.html was valid HTML 4.01, result.html not (according to w3c's 
validator), since among other things <a name="jjj"></a> becomes <a 
name="jjj"/>.

Could someone have a look at it? I prepared a testcase to demonstrate 
it. It could be downloaded from 
http://www.xshare.com/xmllinttest.tar.gz. This archive contains a 
test.sh to format the original file.

Bye
