Description of Problem:

ASP.NET removes the slash at the end of an <meta ........ /> statement. This
prevents the page from validating (validator.w3.org).

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Create an empty aspx form-page
2. Change Doctype and first html statement in:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

3. Add a correctly terminated <meta> statement in the <head>, ie:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Actual Results:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Expected Results:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

How often does this happen? 

Always, both with XSP2 and mod_mono
