Irish Times XML Tag

Stray markup or unclosed html tags are all over the modern web but I thought I was seeing things when I picked today’s printed edition of the Irish Times (yeah - they have a printed version too :O) ).
Did anyone else notice the stray XML tag in the iPhone article of the Technology supplement?

The first paragraph reads

In the US today there will be only one technology story: the iPhone [/FIRSTPAR]

Obviously, thats meant to signal the end of the First Paragraph.
Just a little thing I spotted today that made me smile a little!

    Think WordPress might have eaten your XML… that or I’ve missed something.

    You’re right! And mistyping it caused it my Word Press html editor to crash too. :O)
