There's a sophisticated joke hiding inside of
[HTML's spec](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/). It's subtle (pay
attention) and goes something like this;

  > **An end tag whose tag name is "sarcasm"** [or satire]  
  > Take a deep breath, then act as described in the "any other end tag" entry below.
