Very true, but then you have all the added nuances html, some of which
are undesirable (for example if you need to post-process your html, say
with a sax parser).
The xhtml output method of 2.0 wouldn't help here either... and IE6
doesn't differentiate between <div> and <div/>... so how long?
Ultimately, until browsers become aware a minimisation="no" switch would
be really helpful, or of course, change the default behaviour to leaving
the elements fully expanded (with a switch to collapse, Im guessing to
save some space or for readability (?) ).
Is it really A Bad Thing to have <foo></foo> instead of <foo/>? At least
until clients catch up anyway...
