In which way is "void" better than "empty"?
The sentence "<p></p> is an empty element since it has no content, but p

More confusing than what? (Is that hypothetical sentence more
confusing than "<p></p> is a void element since it has no content, but
p is not a void element."?)
Previously, "empty element" was used as a technical term, and <p></p>
was not called an empty element. If somewhat calls it that way,
doesn't that just call for a correction and a pointer to a definition,
rather than changing the term?
Hi, it is not confusing at all, empty element is an element with no
content (<p></p>), void element is element that can have no content...
the difference is clear, but yes... void is not the best name
