I'm a total hpricot newbie, so this is only out of curiousity...

Is the following expected behaviour?
I found this while struggling through a nasty xml parsing bug.

hstr = Hpricot('<a/><b>c</b>').to_s #or to_html

returns => '<a><b>c</b></a>'

I have found that using to_original_html returns '<a/><b>c</b>' as expected
but I was wondering why you would want <a/> to wrap the other contents when
it obviously isn't correct? Is this handy behaviour for scrapping?


regards
