[VE][63]
in my meta tag and my link tag I have a slash at the end.  This is OK since my
document type is XHTML.  It registers perfectly in Mozilla.  If i change the
tag to <link></link>, it gives me an error saying that link does not need a
closing tag.  If I remove the last slash, it valdiates, but mozilla gives
error.
