[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]

in a .cshtml razor file

1 @if (true)
2 {
3   <partial /> // compiles 
4   <span><partial></span> // compiles 
5   <partial></partial> // compiles 
6   <partial> // does not compile 
7 }

The self-closing tag behavior is inconsistent with conventions. The compiler generates the RZ1006 AND RZ1025 error code indicating that self-closing tag may not be used implicitly. But HTML5 conventions indicate that the self-closing syntax "/>" may be omitted for void tags (those not having any body). However, the actual behavior is that self-closing syntax may be omitted when the node is a direct child of a markup node, but not when it's a direct child of a logic node.

In my opinion, either lines 4 and 6 should both compile, or both should generate the same warning.
