No. We had a recent discussion about this, but I think it was decided to leave the current behavior. The < /> syntax is valid in HTML 5, XHTML, and HTML 4 Transitional, though invalid in HTML 4 Strict. The < > syntax is valid in HTML 5 and HTML 4, but not in XHTML. In practice, I think both versions work in all browsers.
