Hello Dear Developers,
I know you all must be very frustrated when you came to know your html stopped working because you did not put a close HTML tag which does not carry any data.
As per the W3C latest HTML 5 Standard says all tags which can carry data must be closed, read here :
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/syntax.html#self-closing-start-tag-state
Simple Description :http://tiffanybbrown.com/2011/03/23/html5-does-not-allow-self-closing-tags/
I see this is a stupid policy and must be removed, they should not force anyone to write the code the way they want on the name of Quality, this is not a quality standard to have a separate complete tag, no matter it contains data or not.
but the quality standard should say, all tags must close no matter if it is self closing or closing tag itself.
Please who all are agree to this, please go ahead and sign this petition and make web development non frustrating :)
