page meta elements end slash disappiers when saving page <meta .. /> => <meta .. >
IMHO this means that the result is not valid xml
Don't know if it does it with other empty elements too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Test page:
<html>
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="something" content="and something"/>
</head>	
<body>Foo</body>
</html>

1. Load page in firefox
2. Save Page As...
3. Open the result file
Actual Results:  
<html>
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="something" content="and something">
</head>
<body>Foo</body>
</html>

Expected Results:  
<html>
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="something" content="and something"/>
</head>
<body>Foo</body>
</html>
I can't reproduce this bug.

I think the actual problem could've been your understanding. Giving Mozilla a XHTML file doesn't mean it's treated as XML. If XHTML is sent as text/html, it was treated as HTML and saved that way.
If I send XHTML with the correct media type application/xhtml+xml, then Mozilla treats it as XML and saves it correctly.
