Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Custom 'void' or self-closing elements (#624)

@rniwa Yeah I don't think the argument is strong enough to suggest that we should never change the parser ever and stop adding features to html. By the html definition `<x-markdown />` should be an error anyway even though browsers recover and wrap following content in it.

It's weird too because the html document even specifies that [tags from other namespaces can be self-closing](https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#start-tags), it just seems weirdly inconsistent. Is there a particular reason *every* element can't be self-closed?
