Are there any benefits to omitting the closing body and html tags?
Why is the google.com homepage missing the closing body and html tags?
edit - with regards to bandwidth, it's an extremely small amount, really. Say 10 million hits @ roughly 10 bytes saved ~ 100 mb only... Are there reasons other than bandwidth?
edit 2 - and nope, google (yahoo, microsoft, and others) are not w3-validator compliant... when it comes to bandwidth-saving en mass vs w3-compliance, I guess the latter's good for the sacrificing?
