Summary: xhtml templates produces malformed EMPTY anchor element

Initial Comment:
Resulting xhtml output arises Mozilla's #265324 in Core component (same problem in IE).

Generated empty anchor (<a id="some-id" />) element give CSS problems when applying CSS styling, example css snippet:

a
{
    color: blue;
    text-decoration: underline;
}    

a:hover 
{
    background: rgb(75%,75%,100%);
    color: blue;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Maybe templates could be changed from 'a id="{$id}"/>' to 'a id="{$id}"></>' (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_3).

Quote:
"If a double-tag empty element is used, the problem does not occur - e.g. <a
name="content"></a>"
