[TYPO3-english] <a> tags with empty anchor text

Hi,
Occasionally some of our editors end up generating <a> tags with no anchor text. For example:
<a href="www.something.com"></a>. Normal TYPO3 processing renders these as:
<a href="www.something.com">www.something.com</a>
These empty <a> tags are not visible in the RTE unless HTML mode is selected - which is not something most of our editors are familiar with. Consequently they are mystified by the rendering and it is difficult for them to deal with the problem.
I think these empty tags arise when an editor modifies an existing link and the text they select does not exactly match the existing linked text - for example it includes a trailing space.
Ideally I would like to have these empty tags silently removed but I cannot see a way of doing this with TYPOScript. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Graham
