According to the jQuery documentation (and code) all kinds of
$( '<element>' )
$( '<element/>' )
$( '<element />' )
$( '<element></element>' )
are identical. So yes, this patch does not change anything. All it
does is removing characters that are ignored anyway. Using the same
style everywhere makes the code easier to read and understand and
may save a few bytes when it is gzipped.
The current WikiEditor code contains 67 usages of that jQuery call.
Only very few of them are not in the most simple <element> style.
Personally I consider the style <div/> confusing since a <div> can
not be a void element.

eqeqeq:
* Change loose comparisons to strict comparisons where
it seems safe to use a strict comparision instead.
Mostly comparisons to strings or objects, and comparisons to
numbers where the other value is known to be a number, too.
E.g. foo == 'string', bar == node, indexOf() != -1.
* Add eqeqeq:false to files where there are non-obvious usages
left.
onevar, quotmark:
* Disabled in files with lots of style violations.
unused:
* Remove unused variables that have no side-effects in their
assigned expression.
Coding style cleanups on affected lines where trivial.
