I can't seem to find any notice about no longer using the internal closure. There's a note in the ChangeLog: https://github.com/validator/validator/commit/c02589ca56c99e7706a0cb7ece9edbaf0801d49e The stat counters (https://validator.w3.org/nu/stats.html) seems to indicate that self-closing tags are only used in ~7% of site checked, but I would guess the use is much more prevalent in the wild. For example, the front page of the validator itself! https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2F - Chuck
