i am +1 to fix this. a) we already support <span wicket:id="label"/> which expands to <span></span> - give that is a wicket component, but still b) <tag/> and <tag></tag> are semantically equivalent and thats how browsers represent tags internally anyways c) it solves a class of problems that is hard as hell to debug/find d) it makes our ajax support more resilient
