After some more experimenting with both the sxml-transforms and spiffy
versions of sxml->html, I decided I liked the way sxml-transforms did
it, but wanted it in spiffy. :)

Hence my following attempt at a patch for the latest spiffy-base.scm
which also incorporates (steals? :)) the sxml-transforms special
handling for (a) inline tags, and (b) certain tags when they're empty.

Would you mind having a look, Felix (or whoever the spiffy maintainer
is)? It seems to work correctly, given my (fairly brief) testing,
but it may well deserve some tweakage.

Thanks,

Pete.

The secret is in the straw. You have to take straw from at least three
different threads. That way, the strawman you end up with is confusing
to your average schmuck.        -- C&J on strawmen, alt.fan.grrm
