I didn't follow the whole thread but...

It seems to be a common misunderstanding that <node></node> is different from <node /> in XML. However, when it does matter, for instance to satisfy non-conforming legacy application, workarounds are, in XSLT 1.0, to use a comment node (or, sometimes possible, whitespace like you did) and in XSLT 2.0 to use a character-map (put a private use character inside the node and let it map to an empty string).

Cheers,

next...)

Sorry for unnecessary intrusions.
