Instrumentation Expected output
<span concordion:echo="username" />
<span><em>null</em></span>
<span concordion:echo="username"></span>
<span><em>null</em></span>
<span concordion:echo="username">abc</span>
<span>abc<em>null</em></span>
<span concordion:echo="username"><b>abc</b></span>
<span><b>abc</b><em>null</em></span>
