Hi, I noticed this question on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10027737/xquery-should-give-me-proper-c losed-tags-for-empty-node-sql-server-2008
Apparently SQLServer has trouble processing the short notation of empty elements. It got me thinking though, the new serialization spec gives quite some strength for tweaking the output, but not influence tiny things like notation of empty elements. Maybe this isn't the most appropriate list asking this, but I'm asking here anyhow: hasn't it been given thought to add some flags that allow end users to tweak the output more extensively? Like a short-empty-elements="no", things like that? I also used to work with a language that allowed so-called productions from in-memory trees. (It was a language much alike XSLT, but older.) It allowed writing production rules for each element, to control how things should be serialized. Not sure how that would help here, but thought I'd mention it anyway.. Cheers, Geert M.Sc. G.P.H.
