  Hum, I disagree, take the example of p
it's in the same class and the way it's fixed is the same:
  add p in the list of the tags autoclosing itself

"p", "p", "head", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", NULL,

  and same is applied to option

"option", "option", NULL,

  Marc suggestion seems the adequate way to handle this. There may be
more element which can close option, in that case they should be added.
