Description

The current implementation of data-sly-element doesn't correctly handle void elements which will replace the original element on which the block element was placed:

When ${item.element.name} evaluates to link or meta, the element will have a closing tag in the following example, although both link and meta are void elements:

<script data-sly-element="${item.element.name @ context='unsafe'}"></script>
