Comment (by SirLouen):

 @ocean90 I think that this is exactly what @joedolson already suggested in
 the first comment, but the reason of why this was reopened
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63824#comment:4 is here].

 According to @kkmuffme:
 > So yeah, you can pass incomplete HTML, but it's always better to
 directly pass valid HTML to reduce the parser work. Furthermore, with some
 tags (not this one), this is actually unsafe and allows for XSS attacks.
 Therefore it only makes sense to consistently enforce valid, complete HTML
 to be used.

 I going to leave this closed for you to reconsider if it's worthy of
 reopening or not based on this premise.
