Oracle XSL Processor Bug

Question

Description
We are currently using the XMLData class (oracle.jbo.html.databeans.XmlData)
We submit an XML document having some empty XML elements. We apply an XSL Transformation but we receive a non-conform XML Document in output!!
The problem happens when one of the XML elements is empty. Oracle XSL Processor doesn't close my open tag <textarea> with a </textarea>
XSL template:
<xsl:template name="LigneAvecDetail">
<xsl:param name="value"/>
<xsl:param name="name"/>
<xsl:param name="checkboxtag"/>
<xsl:param name="detail"/>
<tr>
<td xsl:use-attribute-sets='LigneDetailStyle'>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($value) < 1">
<input type="checkbox" value="ON" onclick="compute(this)">
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="concat('C_', $name)"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="$name"/></xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<input type="checkbox" value="ON" onclick="compute(this)">
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="concat('C_', $name)"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="$name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="checked">TRUE</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="$checkboxtag"/>
<textarea rows="2" name="S1" cols="20"><xsl:value-of select="$detail"/></textarea>
</td>
<xsl:call-template name="GroupeRadioBouton">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="$value"/>
<xsl:with-param name="name" select="$name"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
Here my XML document:

This is a known bug in the HTML Output method of 2.0.2.6 which is incorrectly
outputting elements like:
<script/>
and
<textarea/>
as
<script> instead of <script></script>
and
<textarea> instead of <textarea></textarea>
This will be fixed in 2.0.2.7. The workaround
is to have some content defaulted into the <textarea> so that it's not an empty element.
