RE: Abbreviated end tags found in a XML file

end tags xml
Bryan Gilbert found these:

<COMPSR_FIRST>Hector</>
<COMPSR_LAST>Berlioz</>
<COMPSR_BIRTH>1803</>
<COMPSR_DEATH>1869</>

This is definitely _not_ acceptable.  I suspect the option for allowing this 
notation still exists in MSXML, but it isn't XML.

The complete discussion of the MSXML </> is available at 
http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/9711/index.html.

When this topic last arose, Chris Lovett seemed to have promised the end of 
these misformed XML files with:

>Woops - this as an oversight. Turns out this XML is generated dynamically
>via JavaScript and I forgot to update this script. This will be fixed
>tonight.

There must be a few still floating around.
