But you should still validate whether you put them in or leave them out. If
you don't then the validator is wrong. I havn't checked this with the W3C
4.0 validator but if including closing li tags produces an error then a bug
report is in order. (I use XHTML 1.0 so dont use the HTML 4.0 validator on a
regular basis. Of course leaving out the closing tag will produce an error
in XHTML!)
