Saving documents makes composer change empty tags such as <br />
to <br>, causing them to fail xhtml validation (even if such documents are
declared as xhtml)
Composer should at the very least prompt for confirmation, and the default
behavior should be to leave those tags as is.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an xhtml document with some elements such as <br />
2. Edit the document with composer
3. Save and publish

Actual Results:  
<br /> is changed to <br>

Expected Results:  
Leave the tag as is
