I ran into them every day in HTML work, especially in Dynamic HTML work, 
where it actually mattered.  They didn't have </>, but they didn't close 
their elements because they didn't have to - oh, except for tables where 
the browser would freak.  Amazing how long it took people to figure that 
one out.

We've been blessed not to have this problem in XML, largely because of the 
absence of "features" you are proposing.
