Ahah, you're right! I
submitted https://troubleshooters.com/web/css.com to the w3c validator
at https://validator.w3.org/ and got six of the info messages you got.
I normally validity check html5 with a downloaded .jar file, and for
some reason I've long forgotten, that checker doesn't output infos
about trailing slashes.

The info makes clear that the disadvantage of a trailing slash in HTML
is that it interacts badly with unquoted attribute values. The person
who doesn't quote attribute values almost certainly wouldn't use my
techniques anyway, because my techniques would be too rigorous for them.
