Description

XML elements may be without end slash? It may confuse developer if he forgets to finish element. *Example:* (Works without any problem) 
 
<Alloy>
   <Window class="container">
      <Label text="Hello!" top="50"> <!-- <Label /> or <Label></Label> is right-->
      <ImageView image="appicon.png" bottom="50">
   </Window>
</Alloy>

    I am not sure I understand how this is an issue if the element is being closed?

    Everything works OK problem is that compiler accept element that is not closed. If is xml document too big it can be confusing to see opened element without end...

    XML elements can't be without end slash, it's not valid XML, IMHO.

    This appears to be an issue with the xmldom parser. I have filed an issue on that project https://github.com/jindw/xmldom/issues/76

    functional review

    Attempt to run the test app

    You should get a compile time error that looks like this:

   [INFO]  [index.xml] view processing...
   [INFO]    style:      "index.tss"
