problem with blank element text
I think there is a bug with elements with blank text when the XML doc is saved:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Settings>
<Setting1>hello</Setting1>
<Setting2></Setting2>
</Settings>

if you save this using ${xml::save}
you'll see that the last element is not what it should be and appear as:
<Setting2 />
when it should be:
<Setting2></Setting2>

Everything is good if the element has any text inside it.

An empty element can be represented by a so called "empty-element tag", which is used here.
Although there should not be a space before the slash...

Having a space before the closing stroke in an empty element is valid in XML as is valid in XHTML.
