12658,Lack of check for matching end tag in read_xml.,jakjas,Sebastian Redl,"When using boost::property_tree::read_xml and parsing for example:

{{{
<Element>Item</Whatever>
}}}

function will not throw an exception and input will be parsed into xml which look like this:

{{{
<Element>Item</Element>
}}}

There is no checking if end tag match start tag. End Tag like this: </> is enough no matter what start tag you have. 

Is it a bug or maybe it is intentional? This behaviour is present at least from version 1.53 but probably from the begining of property_tree component.
