Empty element's ending tag is not shown by inspector

[Pavel Feldman]

1. Open a page with empty script tag in head (<script></script>).
2. Bring up inspector on that page.
3. In head, there is an empty script element

Expected: To show ending script tag
Actual: No end tag will be seen if an element is empty

Some comments based on the screenshot alone.

The "…" should be black text.

Some elements like img, input and link (there are more I think) do not need close tags, so we should not show them.

Look for HTMLTagStatus endTagRequirement() on the various elements in WebCore to know what ones prohibit end tags in HTML.

Done. Collected empty elements from HTML4 and HTML5 Draft.

This should be an array that you call .keySet() on to get a object. That will let you have multiple tags on a line to take less vertical space.

You should call updateTitle before updateSelection. Since updateTitle might change the height of the row and updateSelection needs to ccount for the row height.

>          this.treeOutline.updateSelection();
> +        this.updateTitle();

Ditto, you should call updateTitle before updateSelection.

Will this only apply to HTML documents? All elements need to be closed in XML documents.

Can we add a test for XHTML?

> +        this.isXMLMimeType = WebInspector.mainResource && WebInspector.mainResource.mimeType && !!WebInspector.mainResource.mimeType.match(/x(?:ht)?ml/i);

_isXMLMimeType.
