Actually, that's the way custom tags are supposed to work. When you use the
XML-style closing slash, you're putting in a closing tag for your element.
So, this:
<cf_foo></cf_foo>
is equivalent to this:
<cf_foo />
The closing slash is equivalent to an end tag. This is important behavior
when using ThisTag.ExecutionMode to determine how code should be executed
within the custom tag; it's common to execute code during the end mode, but
without the closing slash, there is no end mode!
