This raises a couple of interesting questions.

- The HTML5 parsing algorithm of this UnClosable property is hugely
complicated (and I don't claim to fully understand it). How much complexity
is it worth adding to replicate features of HTML(5) parsing?

- Is this going to be useful other than for HTML?  Are there any heuristics
that could be used to infer UnClosable properties from a schema in, say,
RELAX NG or XSD.
