Hi,<div><br></div><div>Using xuriella to perform the identity transform fails when there are empty elements (e.g. &quot;&lt;BasicDefinitions/&gt;&quot;) in the source document.  I believe the problem is in normalize-text-nodes! which doesn&#39;t check to see if there are any children before trying to iterate over them.  This seems to trigger an assertion error in sbcl.</div>
