I wonder if we could teach JavaDoc types that model HTML that void elements do not require end tags. Before this change, WBR required an end tag despite being void: https://github.com/jonathan-gibbons/jdk/blob/8a96c703771224990504cd258dd737e10d325f68/src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/formats/html/markup/HtmlTree.java#L954-L968

Failing that, we could have a test to catch such inconsistencies.
