Excellent example because web browsers will render most documents just fine if you don't close your tags. Because they care about being compatible with websites that aren't perfect, and they consider it their job to render all websites that exist. Instead screen readers expect you to change your website instead of working with what's already there.


And yet we close our tags anyway, so even if screen readers are better, we wouldn't change our behavior. So I still don't get it.
