Section 4.1

• A user agent must ensure that rendering is unchanged by the presence or absence of start tags and end tags when the HTML DTD indicates that these are optional.

This can only be tested using CSS. If this browser does not support CSS, then there is nothing that can be done to check if this section is passed or not.
