For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Well... IE8 (and Safari) insert an empty P element node, but other than that, the result is the same. The spec intentionally doesn't reproduce this particular behaviour on the principle that since it apparently isn't required for compatibility, going for the saner behaviour (consistent with most other end tags) is better. 32887 2 yianwillis 2010-03-10 19:26:09 +0000 For the sake of simplicity (and i don't expect to see any visual difference either), I am fine with this resolution.
