Summary: empty elements are always expanded

Initial Comment:
The current XMLWriter always expands empty elements
(ie, <br/> becomes <br></br>). This is a problem
because some browsers (IE) interprete <br></br> as two
newlines instead of one.

Actually, the impact goes beyond double spacing in the
Internet Explorer.  The Maven xDoc plug-in uses dom4J while
generating the XHTML output and this defect causes it to
generate explicit end tags for <link>, <meta>, and <input>
even if the unary format is used in the XML input file.

Since content is prohibited in these elements, explicit end
tags are considered "contrary to industry standards".  There
can be surprising repercussions in some XSLT transformations.
