what is it then for curiosities sake

In an old version of vegastrike, before converting to python, missions were written in a language called C flat which was converted to XML.

When we converted to python, we needed to get rid of the module tag to prevent errors.

So we renamed it to madule so ppl could change it again.

but all the tags still close with </module>

That doesn't matter

It only looks at the start tags. It ignores the end tags.

Also, those missions are not currently in use, even if they are broken.

That's true, but it is bad syntax anyway.
Doesn't the xml-parser vomit on this (log) ?

The XML parser does vomit, but it's at the end of the file already by the time that the XML parser realizes that it's bad XML. And if it's gotten to the end, that means that the important part of the mission has already been parsed.
