That depends on your definition of depends ;-)  If you mean depend as
in 'does it compile' then the answer is no, it does not need this.
In this context (FreeBSD docs), the answer is yes.  We do not use
minimized closing tags (i.e. </>), either.

And once you had to track down a 'Why does this thing look so strange?'
problem in an sgml document, you know why.
