Ah, ok, because we have to not let the browser guess at how to layout
the DOM?

Not exactly.

Tag omissibility is a feature of SGML but not of XML. It is one of several features in SGML that creates dependencies between documents and their DTDs, since when tags are omitted they have to be inferred, and without a DTD there is no basis for such inferences. Since XML wanted to enable parsing documents without DTDs, such features were removed.

(This is OT for XSLT though.)

Cheers,
Wendell
