Do any of you guys do this here? Google does it I know and it reduces load times and server load slightly. Check out the source of the Google home page, you won't see </html> or </body> etc. Certain tags only of course.
 


Any savings in server load time would be offset by the browser compensating for malformed tags.
 
I checked Google yet and it seems just the correct way (XHTML).
Lower case tags and closing tags, the way it should be.
 
Google home (US version) is HTML5 and is missing the closing tags just like buddy described. It also throws 39 errors and several warnings when you try to validate it.

Oh, you're right....
It's missing the </body> tag.

By the way, how can you see it's HTML5?
In my opinion it's just like XHTML....
