<br>'s aren't the problem, nor are <a> or <img>, as these generally
don't have styles.
You are concentrating on css styling the problem with br etc
is greater
they simply don't work at all if IE sees them in html mode as
<br></br>
Well that depends on how the serlialiser works - by preventing tag
minimisation I dont necessarily want elements whose content model is
EMPTY to be expanded.
I wouldn't write a literal result element such as <br /> as <br></br>,
so if the serialiser left that as <br /> all would be well.
LRE's should remain as they are written.
Elements that the serialiser finds to be empty should be left expanded
as well.
I guess it all comes down to if the serialiser can distinguish between
<foo/> and <foo></foo>.
But if the intention is to produce something acceptble to legacy
browsers, it doesn't work. XSLT2 draft gives you an xhtml
output mode as
part of the standard and as Mike has said, some systems
already provide
it as an extension.
Yeah, this looks like the answer.
Im guessing, but here is the xhtml serialiser aware of the elements that
are html, and as such knows not to minimise them - effectively what Im
talking about?
