The real discussion is whether XNI (which notifies the handlers
of the XML Information Set items) should allow the handler to
produce:

 1) an equivalent document,
 2) an equal document, or
 3) something in between.

To support case 1, we don't need the "emptyElement" callback.
Right now, XNI is case 3. And supporting case 2 would cause
the handlers method count to explode which is probably not
reasonable for Xerces2.
