Thanks for pointing this out.  The markup errors should be fixed now,
and as for the unnecessary self-closing tags, this seems to be a bug
in moin (which seems to be marked as a non-bug, unfortunately):

We're using MoinMoin, and our theme (kindofblue) is located at
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/web/wiki/?root=fedora.  If you're
interested, the CSS/HTML could probably still use a lot of cleanup :)
