 The xmlsave.h API have a XML_SAVE_NO_EMPTY flagwhich will do this but
I don't know how this could be forced at the xmlwriter level.
Note that for an XML parser the two syntax are strictly equivalent
so you're generating XML for a client which doesn't use an XML parser
for handling it (with the exception of Microsoft XMLReader API which
distinguish the two but really should not),
