Why was this reverted?

The current HTML 5 specification allows both forms of tags and is backwards compatible with existing XHTML. The only difference here is that those using old XHTML doctypes will have "invalid" HTML. Despite of this every web browser should accurately the page.

Additionally everything outside of ERB will automatically close your tags based on your provided doctype.
