32789	adding support for self closing tags in syndication feeds	Mohammadreza Varasteh	Mohammadreza Varasteh	"the code for syndication feeds was written in a time where self closing tags didn't exist. but today, if an element has no text between the tags, the standard is that it should be a self closing tag. python added this functionality in 3.2 to XMLGenerator but django still doesn't use this in generating syndication feeds. this is the matter of passing a single argument to the SimplerXMLGenerator that django uses for generating feeds. since SimplerXMLGenerator directly inherits from pythons XMLGenrator, passing the arguments works with this class too .
this is my attempt at making it right
