Description

Some tags that look like void elements can be added in other namespaces. <input> is a good example.

expects_closer is intended to indicate whether a given should be closed by another tag or if it's self-closing in some way (void, "atomic," etc.).

This input tag is a void tag, expects_closer correctly returns true on the input token:

<body><input>

This input tag is not a void tag. It's a tag in the svg namespace, expects_closer should return false on the input token, but it returns true:

<svg><input>
