I agree, there's a rule missing here from the spec. I've bugged it for you

> Hello,

> the HTML specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/) says 
> that div, textarea, and script tags require an end tag to be 
> present. It seems to me that this doesn't allow those tags to 
> be empty element tags (e.g. <script/>). However, the HTML 
> serialization chapter of the XSLT and XQuery serialization 
> specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization/
> ) doesn't define this. It only defines elements that must not 
> have an end-tag for empty elements.
