Almost all void elements used in the examples throughout the HTML5 specification have no closing single solidus character. In the Start tags section (8.1.2.1) it states that its use has no effect on void e Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: Other URL: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#top OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: contributor@whatwg.org QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/Overview.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#top Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#top Comment: Use of single solidus character on void elements. Almost all void elements used in the examples throughout the HTML5 specification have no closing single solidus character. In the Start tags section (8.1.2.1) it states that its use has no effect on void elements but it does on foreign elements. While not required, I'd suggest to use it on all void elements in the examples as well. This sets a good example and ensures that the reader gets presented with a consistent style for self-closing elements. It would be even better if a statement was added to the specs about what is recommended or considered good practise to do.
