Well, that depends upon the element concerned, and you don't get a
choice.
If the content model for the element is not EMPTY, then it is
serialized as <p></p> (for example), but if it is EMPTY, then it must
be serialized as <br /> (for example).

True - whether it's useful or not comes down to the requirements - if
they are to prevent <script/> and <div class="bold"/> style problems
then it works really well (which is usually the case).

If it's so some homemade XML parser doesn't break parsing the output,
then well...
