Well, not having the closing tags for <P>, <LI> etc *is* perfect HTML.

<!ELEMENT P - O (%text)+>
<!ELEMENT DT - O (%text)+>
<!ELEMENT DD - O %flow;>
<!ELEMENT LI - O %flow; -- list item -->
The `-' after the element name indicates the opening tag is required,
the `O' in the second field after the name indicates the closing tag
is optional. Hence, using <P>, <LI>, <DT> and <DD> without </P>,
</LI>, </DT> and </DD> *is* perfect HTML.
