Note that this is not a valid _open_ tag, but an empty XML element (< ... />).

CWB doesn't support empty elements, only regular open/close tags that are transformed into structural annotations.  I'm not sure how strict the XML tag parser is and whether it would throw a syntax error in this case.

Hope this helps,
