I wonder why they suggest that? Their homepage is 115kb, so clearly they're not trying to absolutely minimize the size of their pages.

It's valid HTML5 but I can't get used to not close list items and even the body.


It is also valid HTML4. If you are not comfortable not closing the body, you can just omit the opening tag also :). Likewise with html and head.
