#1223: boost::serialization chokes on correcly formatted empty XML element

     Type:  Bugs                      |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  To Be Determined          |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.34.1              |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  XML empty element         |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 boost::serialization expects empty XML elements on the format (which is
 the format it generates them in):
 {{{
 <ElementName></ElementName>
 }}}

 It chokes on the legally and preferred formatted XML empty element:

 {{{
 <ElementName/>
 }}}

 with a 'stream error'. This can be a problem if preprocessing is needed
 (before serialization to objects) with XML libraries who tend to write
 empty elements of the latter format.
