In my experience, mismatched tags are quite often used on purpose. For
example, Cyberpower678 has two unmatched div tags at the end of his
StandardLayout template
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cyberpower678/StandardLayout>, used to
put a shaded border round the posts on his talk page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cyberpower678>. There are no
corresponding closing div tags at the end of the talk page, as they would
be moved by the talk page archive bot, and Tidy takes care of the invalid
HTML anyway.
