No, the output tree contains an element whose name is "blah". The XML output
method is perfectly entitled to serialize this node as <blah/>, as <blah />,
or as <blah></blah>.
If you want XHTML output that conforms to the guidelines for compatibility
with older HTML browsers, there is no easy answer. Some processors have
added an XHTML output method. Otherwise, using <br class="x"/> should work.
