/ Barrie Slaymaker <barries@[...].com>  was heard to say:
| FWIW, I'm planning on having XML::ValidWriter (and thus XML::AutoWriter)
| optimize <t> </t> to be just <t/> (or, more likely, <t />) if you don't
| emit anything before the end tag.
| 
| The reason I mention it is to see if I should also provide an option
| to disable the optimization.  I figured I could always wait for
| complaints :-).

With respect, if anyone complains, they have a broken app or a broken
understanding of XML. <t> </t> and <t/> *are the same thing*, by
definition. (I'm not saying I think that ought to be the case, only
that it is.)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
