1) What is the correct jargon for an element which allows both start-tag and
end-tag omission? I have been calling them "phantom elements", since they
may be ESIS-present but lexically absent.
2) I note that when SP has a choice between inferring a missing end-tag and
inferring a missing start-tag (and phantom element), it infers the end-tag:
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ELEMENT root - - (foo, foo?)>
<!ELEMENT foo - O (#PCDATA | bar)*>
<!ELEMENT bar O O (foo)>
]>
<root> <foo> case 1 <foo> case 2 </root>
does not generate an ESIS containing "bar", and even adding a "</bar>"
before "</root>" does not help. Is this behavior prescribed by the
Standard?
