jQuery UI core does not pass W3C Validation


The jQuery UI core (1.6rc6 and below) causes an error during W3C
Validation because of line 49:
var tmp = $('<div class="ui-gen"></div>').addClass(....
jQuery already fixes all unclosed elements when it creates them... why
not use $('<div class="ui-gen">').addClass... ?
It has the same result and saves a few bytes... unless you guys have a
reason to leave in the </div>.
Although W3C validation is not the most important metric of proper
coding and markup, it's always nice to see your page validate. Should
I file this properly as a bug?
