There are other tags you can omit the closing tag but yet the opening tag shouldn’t be self-closed.
<ol>
<li>one
<li>two
</ol>
I think even the final closing ol can be omitted as there are rules to auto close elements when encountering tags that don’t make sense in context.
I know that, but many developers don't. I can't wait to see the confusion on why my tag didn't auto-close like a <li> tag.
Ambiguity can be a dangerous thing, and not closing HTML tags can be a cause of that in my experience.
