Though these tags are closed, the text segments between them get underlined when hovering on them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: The text should not have been underlined.
That page is served as text/html, so the page is parsed as HTML not XML. Since it is HTML, the tags are not closed because you can't use that closing syntax on that tag.

So Gecko doesn't care about declarations like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> ? Is the only thing that cares what MIME type it is served as?
