Except that you also appear to define an element as being empty if all its children are empty, unless it is a myContent element. But David has given you the principle: once you sort out what the rules are, writing them in XSLT isn't difficult. You can match an element that is empty in the sense above with match="*[not(.//text())]" provided you have used <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> to remove the whitespace text nodes.
