The big think with XML end tags is that it allows the parser to recover when someone makes a mistake. It's essentially redundant information that can be used to make sense of the mess and potentially correct it.
Sure, except that I know of exactly *zero* parsers that do that in practice. And, in addition, we wind up with a whole new class of errors--misordered close tags.
I don't particularly care. I just find it odd that people get all bent out of shape about these kinds of things and extol the virtues of things which are pretty much equivalent.
