Details

DOM creation and final rendering of the page are both affected.  Please compare
the DOMs of these 2 XHTML-equivalent examples, this is not good.

Works:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Good DIVs</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The following DIV elements create a good DOM.</p>

<div id="div1" style="background-color:purple;width:200px;height:200px;"></div>
<div id="div2" style="background-color:yellow;width:200px;height:200px;"></div>

</body>
</html>
-----------
Broken:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Bad DIVs</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The following DIV elements create a seriously messed up DOM.</p>

<div id="div1" style="background-color:purple;width:200px;height:200px;" />
<div id="div2" style="background-color:yellow;width:200px;height:200px;" />

</body>
