Your finding is a big step forward in understanding various MSXML quirks,
thank you!
But still MSXML is going beyond the specification by noting the
choice of empty element syntax used by an XML instance. Stylesheet
writers cannot depend on this in the general case as it is an MSXML quirk.
Agreed! I use XSLT 1.0 only for client-side, browser initiated transformations
(using XSLT 2.0 Saxon otherwise) and tend to ignore other configurations. In
the future I will be more careful to state this in my assertions.

In my test the last div is serialized as <div style="display: none" /> !
Why do you think the serialization by MSXML of the two is the same?
My turn, sure.

I've set up a test at...
Thank you ... by downloading your test I found the difference.
Thinking about possible causes, what version of MSXML do you use?
It isn't a difference the version of the MSXML processor ... the
difference turns out to be in the stylesheet markup. This took a
while to narrow down, but the example below shows that MSXML modifies
its behaviour when the stylesheet literal result element is in the
HTML namespace. There is only a one-line difference between
manfred.xsl and manfred3.xsl, that being the namespace declaration.
So we were both right about our respective tests ... we were just
comparing apples and oranges.
But still MSXML is going beyond the specification by noting the
choice of empty element syntax used by an XML instance. Stylesheet
writers cannot depend on this in the general case as it is an MSXML quirk.
An interesting exercise, Manfred ... thank you.
