Hi all! So, as it was stressed in expat one day, there are 'empty' tags, like: <foo val=''/> (without ending </foo>). For now, it is not known what a tag was parsed (XML parser ext). It is not good: the original structure of XML changes.
In XML, <foo /> and <foo></foo> are identical as far as semantics are concerned. This is nothing to worry about IMO - any decent XML parser treats them the same. - Davey
