If you got
<foo>
<bar>

there is only one way of closing it:
<foo>
<bar>
</bar>
</foo>

If it was to be closed as your second example <foo> would have to be 
closed before <bar> which it isn't.

Therefore, I think that Dean is correct when it comes to automatic 
closing being possible and well-defined. However, I would like rather 
like to see recommendations for rendering SVG using a push/pull parser 
(like SAX) but that might be in a future spec rather then in an errata.
