if you, personally, always want to see balanced html tags, then check the box, and you will always see balanced html tags, regardless of who wrote the node, or how diligent they were about balancing their html tags.

I personally believe I should apologize: my fault for virtually never checking the settings. The point is, it seems there are so many of them, perhaps even too many, often with poorly chosen defaults. This is in contrast with Perl's philosophy itself, which is much about intellegently chosen defaults. Who could possibly not want to see balanced html tags? And even if one such person exists, then why is (s)he given the right to screw up the view for anyone else?
