Yes, I've thought about doing this before and it is fairly easy to
implement with only minor added cost (checking a flag to see if the
start tag has been closed yet). I really try to avoid even such minor
added costs, but I think I'll go ahead and implement the change in 1.1.
Dan, the JiBX code as currently structured writes an empty tag if the
binding defines only attribute values as present on the element. If you
have child elements it will always use a start tag/close tag pair
instead. That's why a change is needed to the writer in order to defer
closing the start tag until some content is written, so that an empty
tag can be used instead.

Hi Dan,
On 02/27 I posted a solution in this forum which works fine for me.

Is there a way to control whether or not XML elements that have no
content (only attributes) are self-closing, as in:
<element attributes/>
or have a separate closing tag, as in:
<element attributes></element>
JiBX seems to generally prefer the latter, whereas the former makes more
sense to me.
By the way, my situation is that these are elements that can have
content, but in this case don't happen to.
Thanks.
