Because, in an HTML document, an XHTML style img tag unambiguously means "An image element followed by a greater than sign".
I still can't see where it says that in the spec, do you need to know the SGML spec as well? It seems strange that the closing slash is taken as the close, rather than the greater than sign, is that in the HTML spec somewhere? Since this is either ill defined or not defined in the HTML spec so far (unless WHATWG tackled it?), I'd suggest that the method implied by XHTML compatibility guidelines might be a more suitable reference in future?
the construct is valid and the validator should not claim otherwise. It just doesn't mean what the author intends.
Given the mis-match in meaning that does not produce an error, surely it's something that should change then?
