@abitrolly, I'm not advising to use XHTML; I don't use it myself. I'm saying that, if a super-strict, no-void-elements parser is required, one already exists. Someone thinking about using XML syntaxt for HTML would need to consider the benefits/drawbacks for themselves. 

While I agree with the sentiment that "everything would be much simpler if there were no void elements", that ship has sailed for HTML (it left the dock about 30 years ago).
