Research direction
Start with the WHATWG HTML issue linked in the report, then trace the parser handling for foreign content and unquoted attribute values ending in /. Confirm how missing end tags are reported in this case. Done means the error message identifies that a self-closing tag may have been intended.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
See https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2665
In particular for foreign content, when an end tag is missing and the start tag had / as the last character in of an unquoted attribute value before the >, a probable cause of the error is that self-closing tag was intended.
