The .clean() method tries to replace empty elements defined as <elem /> with
<elem></elem>. Here's the code from .clean():
// Convert html string into DOM nodes
if ( typeof elem == "string" ) {
// Fix "XHTML"-style tags in all browsers
elem = elem.replace(/(<(\w+)[^>]*?)\/>/g, function(all, front, tag){
return
tag.match(/^(abbr|br|col|img|input|link|meta|param|hr|area|embed)$/i) ?
all :
front + "></" + tag + ">";
});
If the element is namespaced like this:
<data:person name="john doe" id="123" />
the manufactured closing tag is incorrect:
<data:person name="john doe" id="123" ></data>
Changing the regular expression's (\w+) to ([A-Za-z0-9_:]+) fixes the
problem.
