[0.8] Self-closing p tag breaks template

[ngduc]

Hi,
I got a strange issue. When I use a self-closing p tag </p> , it breaks my element. (doesn't let me use another element). Please check the example below:

After I changed it to <p></p> then it works.

The only void tags supported by HTML are area, base, br, col, command, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, source, track, wbr.

See some discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3558119/are-self-closing-tags-valid-in-html5

Thanks @sjmiles for the info.

Just curious why an invalid tag can break Polymer like that? how about some arbitrary tags ?
Can this be fixed ? Thanks.

especially not arbitrary tags. A lot of people learn this the hard way and
speaking for myself, once i know, I rarely make the mistake again.

This can't be fixed, using an invalid closing tag breaks the HTML parser in the browser.
