Because you seem to try to create XHTML from an XSLT 1.0 processor
you've to manually make sure that the tags keep their closing tags. A
non-breaking space is not such a good solution, I think, because it may
influence the rendering results. Rather, you should choose the comment
approach:
<xsl:template match="somenode">
<div><xsl:comment>i am empty</xsl:comment></div>
<xsl:template>
Some time ago I have tested this situation in IE 6 and IE 7 and found
using xsl:output method="html" or "xml" seems to make no difference
here. What makes a difference is whether the element comes from the
input doc or from the stylesheet:
a. If you have <div style="display: none"/> in the input doc, it becomes
<div style="display: none">CRLF</div> after being copied by
<xsl:apply-templates/>
b. If you have <div style="display: none"/> in your stylesheet, it becomes
<div style="display: none" /> in the output (invalid html). To avoid
this simply
code <div style="display: none"></div>.
