This kind of stuff is so common.

For example closing <br /> with HTML, or using HTML comment marks with Javascript in SCRIPT tags.

People just copy what other people have done, without trying to understand each part of it, so you have stuff that is just blindly copied from person to person to person until someone finally stops and says "What does this actually do?"
