Description

Django 1.4 switched to HTML5. Ending slashes on void elements are now optional. See also ​http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/syntax.html#syntax-elements.

I suggest to remove them in HTML produced by Django.

We didn't switch to HTML5 - we switched to HTML5 doctypes for bundled templates, especially the admin, which is quite different. We still need our output to be XHTML compliant as much as possible, because people could be using our output in XHTML templates.

Sorry for the confusion.
