I'm sure this has been raised before, but I can't find it in the 
archives so:

(a) XHTML authors should know that missing the closing tag for an image 
is invalid in their chosen data format.
(b) XHTML authors should know to revalidate their XHTML after making 
modifications
(c) <img /> has a different meaning in HTML, so presenting that format 
of tag, while being valid, would be wrong for HTML documents
(d) This is a CSS validator issue and should be directed at 
www-validator-css not www-validator
