Those aren't void tags.

I've been working with web technologies for years and I happened to like a lot of things about XHTML. I know how the shit works, I just feel its more consistent to close all of your tags. You obviously wouldn't self-close a <div> or a <section> because those tags are supposed to have content!

As an aside, I would argue that <script> should be nullable when it has a src attribute.
