The functions in emacs' html mode generally insert both open and close

(no close tag).
Is there some reason emacs doesn't insert close paragraph tags? I
thought html required them and browsers just ignored their absence.
Closing p tags are optional according to the HTML 4.01 spec. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1 for more
information.
HOWEVER, they are required as part of the XHTML (aka HTML 5)
specification, now that HTML is based on XML which requires matched
tag pairs.
