I'm using the last version of XML_Tree (2.0.0RC2), and I would like to be able to turn off the "short tags" feature for empty elements (to have <a></a> instead of <a />).

line 321 :
- if ($this->content == '' && sizeof($this->children) === 0 && $deep != 0) {
+ if ($this->content == '' && sizeof($this->children) === 0 && $deep != 0 && $short_tags) {
