First of all, thank you for all your answers. The "class trick" seems an 
easy way of doing it, of course, even if it is not very elegant. For those 
who are interested, the trick is adding a "dummy" class attribute, so there 
is a space after the element name : <br class="truc"/>.

Thank you. However, I didn't write my XSL sheet yet. I anticipated, for 
once... But the advices attached to your answer make a checklist for me :-)

Is it standard to 4xt, or do I have to integrate the code indicated by your 
URL ?

What XSLT processor can do this ? Is that the modified 4xt ? I'm 
interested, since it would make a clearer XML output.

Actually, I am using XSL to go from another corporate DTD to OEB. I guess I 
will make two stylesheet, one for creating the package, and one for the 
document :-)

Thanks all for your answer.
