Manipulating XSL element

["ciaran byrne" <ciaran dot byrne at 3tl dot com>]

Hi all,
	Is there any way to create an XML element
without it being created by my XSL as an empty tag i.e.
<element/>

The reason being is that the content that is manipulated
by my XSL into an element already has a '/' to indicate
whether it will be a start/end or empty tag, such as:
empty: <tag/> 
start: <tag>
end:  </tag>

So, when my content, complete with '/' gets passed 
through the XSL and I create an element I get
empty: <tag//> 
start: <tag/>
end:  </tag/>

Is there any way I can get my XSL to look at the tag and say
"hey let's treat this tag as a start tag as such so that I don't
put in the '/' ? "
which would give me...
empty: <tag/>
start: <tag>
end: </tag>

Any ideas on a wet Monday morning ??
Ciaran.
