XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <wolfgang.hoschek AT mac.com>]

Just curious, what's the rationale for Document.toXML() and the  
Serializer outputting empty elements in a different way, with and  
without a blank?Example: <receive/> vs. <receive />
Shouldn't both routes output the same style?

The relevant part is Element.toXML()

        ...
        if (element.getChildCount() > 0) {
            result.append('>');
        }
        else {
            result.append(" />");
        }

It's a special casing is not done by the Serializer.
