There's a canonical-form parameter [1] but I suspect it doesn't do want you want and Xerces doesn't support setting it to true, so the answer to the first two questions is no and no and I suspect there's no standard method for specifying this format with XSLT. That said, I believe Xerces' serializer will write empty elements as an empty tag. > Thx for any info you can provide > -a > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407/load-save.html#parameter-canonical-form Michael Glavassevich XML Parser Development IBM Toronto Lab E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
