Closing HTML tags is part of the specification, i.e.
not optional for syntactically correct HTML.
Such HTML only works with most browsers due to the
proliferation of badly coded HTML. If it wasn't
for that, then browsers wouldn't have such a hard
time parsing HTML (and would therefore be faster).
Alas, web designers cut back on HTML tags to improve
the download times - a mixed blessing.
