  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*[not(node())]">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:text>&#13;&#10;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:copy>
