           Summary: Value of element.innerHTML incorrect when using XML
                    style close tags.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: itaylor at crowdfactory.com


If you use an XML style close tag to signify an empty element, when you go to
get the innerHTML of that element via javascript, it will behave as if the tag
is not closed. 

Here is a simple test to reproduce the issue
<div id='foo'/>
<div id='bar'></div>
<script>
        //the innerHTML of a div with a shortened XML style end tag is broken.
        var html = document.getElementById("foo").innerHTML;
        var html2 = document.getElementById("bar").innerHTML;
        if (html != html2)
        {
                alert("error: foo should have no content, but was " +html);
        }
</script>

 I've verified that this issue exists in Webkit nightly 5528.16, r44341, as
well as Safari 4 beta and Google Chrome 2.0.172.30.  It does not exist in
Firefox or IE.
