Description:
------------
I tried to run the HTMLtoXHTML.php example, without success, except on the simplest XML fragments.

Reproduce code:
---------------
For example:
the page http://www.auderghem-analytica.com/main/en/sect1/p100
is XHTML

However, the script returns NOT XHTML.
Problems with empty tags: <img>, <input> which apparently are not "closed" by the parser.

Expected result:
----------------
For example, one would expect:
<img src="/images/aa/layout/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" />

Actual result:
--------------
But one gets:
<img src="/images/aa/layout/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1">

Hi,

In fact the bug seems related to the fact that HTMLSax3, at least in its latest release, doesn't detect self-closing tags and therefore tries to close them... Is a fix considered?

Thanks,
Benjamin.

HTMLtoXHTML.php really is just a proof of concept, I don't think by any means it was meant to be comprehensive. Besides not closing self-closing tags, it also doesn't check the nesting of tags or the attributes.
