I do not think so (at least not without a DTD): `<tag/>' is just a shorthand notation for '<tag></tag>' and the difference has no influence on the DOM. Note that `lxml` is just a Python binding for `libxml2`. All the parsing is done by this library. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
