[issue25258] HtmlParser doesn't handle void element tags correctly

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I suspect that calling startendtag is also backward incompatible, in that there may be parsers out there that are depending on starttag getting called for <img>, and endtag not getting called (that is, endtag getting called for it will cause them to break).  I would hope that this would not be the case, but I'm worried about it.
