if that were true then browsers would refuse to render text/html responses that didn't include a closing </html> tag, i guess

No, because the closing </html> tag can be omitted according to the current HTML spec. See https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#optional-tags

this is exactly my point

html is not precisely defined

j / k navigate · click thread line to collapse
