An interesting (to me) question:

Is it permissible to terminate an element which was opened using a NET-
enabling start-tag, by using a normal end-tag instead of just a NET?

<example>
   <P>This is a <EMPH/very </EMPH> short paragraph.</P>

Of the three parsers I've tried, two say yes and one says no.

My interpretation of 8879 is that this is permitted (although
it seems a very silly thing to do!), because I can find no clause specifying
that a normal end-tag is *not* recognized in this particular context.

Anybody want to offer insights or differing interpretations on this?
