Space Before Closing Slash?
I've frequently seen a space preceding the closing slash in XML and HTML tags. The XHTML line break is probably the canonical example: <br /> instead of: <br/> The space seems superfluous.

meta and img tags, generated in an xlt are not being closed correctly
I'm trying to get the meta and img tags to close in the output from an xlt. I've looked into it, and it seems I need to select an "xml" method rather than "html", but this still doesn't seem to work.
