Re: [xsl] Ignore closing tag

Hi David,

Abel

If it isn't required, but it isn't hurting either, and when it is used for machine-reading (as opposed to human-reading), then why bother trying to write "<elem>data" instead of "<elem>data</elem>"?

With the default sgml declaration, a closing tag for an element declared
empty would be an error, as for example <img></img> is an error in
HTML.

I understand. But I was really just reacting to the phrase "not required" in the original question, assuming that "not required" meant: not required, but allowed. Of course, I can't know without seeing the real DTD.

Regards,
Abel
