I've been looking through a ton of sites recently to get a better understanding of how large websites structure their HTML5 pages.
I noticed that they tend to do
<script src="test.js"></script>
Instead of
<script src="test.js" />
But do
<link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css"/>
Instead of
<link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css"></link>
Even in this technique blog they do so, why is this a preferred design style?
