If it's not at least well-formed then no, it's not acceptable. :) I
believe those examples resulted from an abortive experiment on Microsoft's
part to super-minimize the closing tags, but they have since come back to
the One True path. The end tag of the <COMPSR_FIRST> tag should therefore
be </COMPSR_FIRST>. The example (and others like it) are about 3-4 months
out of date.
