At this site
http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/inetsdk/samples/databind/composer.xml
you will find a XML file that contains content like this:
<?XML VERSION="1.0" RMD="NONE"?>
<COMPOSER>
 <ITEM>
<COMPSR_FIRST>Hector</>
<COMPSR_LAST>Berlioz</>
<COMPSR_BIRTH>1803</>
<COMPSR_DEATH>1869</>
<ORIGIN>France</>
<BIO>Renowned French composer known for <SPAN
STYLE="font-style:italic">Symphonie Fantastique</SPAN> written in
1830.</>
</>

Notice that end tags do NOT contain the element name.  
>From my reading of the XML spec this file is not well formed.

But is it acceptable?
