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?
I don't think there is any rationale. I suspect it just happened that way without any conscious decision. With the space is a little nicer for XHTML, but doesn't really matter for most other apps. If it bothers anyone, I'm inclined to remove the blank from toXML().
