 get_archives_link in file wp_includes/general-template.php unconditionally
 ends link tag with '/>' which breaks page validation for HTML5 documents,
 like default theme and all recent themes.

 It's in XHTML syntax, with /> final.

 {{{
         if ('link' == $format)
                 $link_html = "\t<link rel='archives' title='" . esc_attr(
 $text ) . "' href='$url' />\n";
 }}}



 You could put a condition to choose html or xhtml, or, at this point,
 putting the default html.

 {{{
         if ('link' == $format)
                 $link_html = "\t<link rel='archives' title='" . esc_attr(
 $text ) . "' href='$url'>\n";
 }}}
