It is used to specify additional information about purpose of element.

No.

PSGML inserts it automaticaly, because this attribute has default value
in DTD. You can switch-off this behaviour by setting sgml-shorttag to t.
This setting can be invoked from menu SGML -> File Options -> SHORTAG.
Then you can save current settings at the end of file by selecting SGML
-> File Options -> Save options. You can not easily set this option for
all Emacs buffers in .emacs file, because this option is automaticaly
set for each buffer when loading xml-mode.
