Ultimately IE is "right" in that you can never tell a client their site
doesn't work in IE but it fits the written technical standards. A client
will always prefer a non web standard site that works in IE to one that
is technically correct but errors out in the worlds most popular browser.

True, although I see it as one of those times that it's "right" in the
strict technical sense rather than a practical sense :) In general
usage I think it's reasonable to expect the closing delimiter.
