So - the question is, what path do we take from here for our standards-compliant websites? If the future contains comparable HTML and XHTML specs for the same standards, documents continue to be served as text/html (and so interpreted as tag soup) - do we close our <img /> tags or not?
FWIW I've been developing to valid HTML4.01 transitional (aside: why shouldn't we be allowed target="blank"..?) ..does this news confirm that in the end there's no better reason to use XHTML than personal preference?
