Re: self closing elements with attributes

I want closed tags because I'm trying to be compliant to the 
emerging 
standards by using xhtml.

Then your document element *cannot* be "h","t","m","l", and must 
be 
"x","h","t","m","l" and you have to use XML conventions.

That's not what w3c says. (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#docconf)

A Strictly Conforming XHTML Document is an XML document that requires only the 
facilities described as mandatory in this specification. Such a document must 
meet all of the following criteria:

   1.

      It must conform to the constraints expressed in one of the three DTDs 
found in DTDs and in Appendix B.
   2.

      The root element of the document must be html.
   3.

      The root element of the document must contain an xmlns declaration for 
the XHTML namespace [XMLNS]. The namespace for XHTML is defined to be 
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. An example root element might look like:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
