Omitting tags is something we can get used to, but just by looking at the spec I'm kinda scratching my head.

Eg. why can't the closing tag for title be omitted? Tags are not allowed inside it.

I guess it's because you should be able to type tags as the title, but having to think about stuff like that makes ommiting more of a hassle than it's worth to me.

And what if templates are used and put together? Then you suddenly need to know how every combination of templates is going to be in the future to avoid unintended side effects.

Saving a bit of data on HTML isn't my top priority, and why would it? Just by not using a bunch of css/js-libs/fonts I'm able to have a smaller footprint than 99 percent of all pages.
