    <thetext>In HTML validation, &lt;menuitem&gt; without a closing tag results in an error &quot;Unclosed element menuitem&quot;, while &lt;menuitem /&gt; syntax (in proper contexts) is flagged as invalid (&quot;Self-closing syntax (/&gt;) used on a non-void HTML element.&quot;) while the element is listed among void elements (http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/syntax.html#void-elements).
As of now, menuitem is not supported by browsers, and using it in an HTML documents results in the nesting of subsequent &lt;menuitem&gt;s.
This can be a bug to fix or (better) an occasion for filing a bug to the HTML5&apos;s spec, to list &lt;menuitem&gt; as non-void in order to maintain backwards compatibility.</thetext>

    <thetext>Has this &quot;bug&quot; been resolved, or the state of &lt;menuitem&gt; is still being considered? No answer was given. Again.</thetext>
