Our XML genrated with PyXB does not get parsed by a third party parser for an unknown reason. One of the possibilities we were given was try to substitute <empty_element/> for <empty_element></empty_element >. Can somebody (Peter maybe) point me where formation of tags for empty elements is happening?
UPDATE
It seems like PyXB produces both opening and closing tags for empty elements and it's processing through lxml.etree that reduces them to closing tags only.

PyXB delegates to the DOM implementation to generate the document structure. This is probably relevant.
