I'm happy to drop/add any tag to this list. Just give me the list you
want.

I missed anything that wasn't in the table I happened upon in the spec. I
didn't look very closely for the exact table I wanted.
Tell me what tags you want to have and we'll make that the list. You're
the expert. :-)

Don't worry, these tags auto-close when a parent tag is closed.
<foo><bar><baz></foo><quux>
...results in this DOM:
<foo>
<bar>
<baz>
<quux>
For leaf nodes with following siblings, people will have to use end tags,
as in:
<foo><bar></bar><baz></baz></foo><quux></quux>
If we want to start adding actual leaf tags, I'd rather do this in a
second stage, after we have a proof of concept. (I've so far avoided
adding any new tags to the HTML5 parser spec, but eventually there will be
a bunch we have to add.)
We can go from non-empty to empty much more easily than from empty to
non-empty.
