[xml] XHTML DTD changes behaviour for empty tags

Dear all,

could anybody please give me a hint why xmllint'ing the following two
files makes a difference regarding the handling of the empty <test> tag?
It's printed as "<test></test>" if the DTD is present.

I already played around with xmlSaveNoEmptyTags in my code to get around
that but that seems not to make a difference. libxml2 is 2.6.32.

Thanks!
Matthias
