[racket] lex-error report while reading HTML using module XML

Not exactly true.  In XHTML (i.e. HTML >= 4.0, IIRC), it SHOULD have an end tag -- as should every other tag in XHTML.  You can do this either with
<img src="blah.blah"></img>
or, briefer, with
<img src="blah.blah"/>

However, most or all browsers accept Web pages with certain common tags unterminated: <img>, <p>, <br>, <li>, etc. and there's a reasonable argument that Racket's XML library should be capable of accepting them too.
