Params: - prefix – The element's namespace prefix, null if not set
- localName – The element's local name
- nsURI – The elements's namespace URI, null if not set
- allowEmpty – The allow empty setting specified by the caller.
Returns: True if the empty element can be self-closing. False if a separate end tag should be written.

Handler that uses a Set of Strings. If the local part of the element's QName is contained
in the Set the element is allowed to be empty.
Users of this class are encouraged to use a TreeSet
with the String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER
comparator if case-insensitive comparison is needed (like when dealing with HTML tags).

HTML specific empty element handler. Extends the SetEmptyElementHandler

Note that element name comparison is case-insensitive as required
by HTML specification.
