Typo: extra slash not needed

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Checking boxes by default

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

I think the input element:
<input type="checkbox" id="coding" name="interest" value="coding" checked />
has an / that is not needed in the end of the line.
The same happens with:
<input type="checkbox" id="music" name="interest" value="music" />

I found it using HTML Tidy on a code I developed based on that code example on MDN.

What did you expect to see?

<input type="checkbox" id="coding" name="interest" value="coding" checked >

<input type="checkbox" id="music" name="interest" value="music" >

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
