Lars, with your teaching hat on, would you agree that it would be a good thing for your students and colleagues to explicitly close all open, non-void elements? My preference is that we agree that what is served as a representation of the resource named by http://google.com/ conforms to the definition of HTML5. We can further agree that it is not a particularly good example to learn from, but that it is HTML5 nevertheless, and it is appropriate to be served as text/html. Separately, I believe that we should develop one or more sets of best practices. At least one of those best practices should be targeted specifically at the need of students. I have no problem with the W3C deploying a "goodness checker" and am even willing to help code it. - Sam Ruby
