A small program that reproduces the bug

When using the Microsoft runtime, if your input XML contains empty elements
(i.e. <Element/>), it will output these elements as <Element/>.

When using the Mono runtime, if your input XML contains empty elements, it will
output them as <Element></Element>.

This causes problems when you later use an XmlReader to read your transformed
XML, and use the XmlReader.IsEmptyElement property (i.e. different behaviour on
Mono vs Microsoft implementations).

I have attached a small program that reproduces this bug.

When running under Microsoft's runtime, the following output is observed:

Before Transform: <Foo><Bar/></Foo>
After Transform: <Foo><Bar /></Foo>
'Bar' is an empty element

But when running under Mono's runtime, the following output is observed:

Before Transform: <Foo><Bar/></Foo>
After Transform: <Foo><Bar></Bar></Foo>
ERROR: No Empty Elements Found!
