Jorgen,
Care to be more specific? XML says that any elements without children
may use the minimised form, making <p /> be perfectly valid in XHTML
strict. However, section C.3 of the XHTML1.0 spec specifically
mentions, in the interests of HTML compatibility, that this should only
happen for EMPTY elements. So valid XHTML, but not encouraged.
However, as I intend to migrate the entire -Thtml and -Txhtml to HTML5,
which disallows this, the issue will soon be moot...
Best,
Kristaps
