Multiple PageBlockSections

I am VF Page to convert a spouse (in contacts) to a new contact.  I am using Multiple Page Block Sections to send information to the user based on the value of a custom field set in my custom controller.
<apex:page standardController="Contact" extensions="ConverSpouseExtension">
  
<apex:form >
    <apex:sectionheader title="Create Spouse As A New Contact"> 
        <apex:actionregion >
         <apex:pageBlock title="Spouse Information" id="thePageBlock" mode="edit">
              
       <apex:pageBlockButtons >
 <!-- Show Save Button if Spouse is not converted and Spouse has a First Name -->     
          <apex:commandButton value="Convert" action="{!NContact}" 
           rendered="{!SpouseCon.Spouse_Converted__c == 'SNCon'}" />               
          <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockButtons>
        
 <!-- Show if okay to Convert Spouse to a Contact -->      
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Spouse Ready to Convert to Contact" columns="1" 
            rendered="{!SpouseCon.Spouse_Converted__c == 'SNCon'}">
            <h1>Update information as needed and press 'Convert'</h1> </br>
            to convert Spouse to a Contact
                <apex:inputfield id="FirstName" value="{!SpouseInfo.FirstName}" />
                <apex:inputfield id="LastName" value="{!SpouseInfo.LastName}" />
                <apex:inputfield id="Email" value="{!SpouseInfo.Email}" />
                <apex:inputfield id="Phone" value="{!SpouseInfo.Phone}" />                 
             </apex:pageBlockSection>
  <!-- Show if Spouse already exists as a Contact -->                 
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Spouse Exists as a Contact" columns="1" 
            rendered="{!SpouseCon.Spouse_Converted__c == 'SCon'}">
                <h1>A contact named {!SpouseInfo.FirstName} {!SpouseInfo.LastName} already exists</h1> </br>
                Press Cancel to return.                
             </apex:pageBlockSection>
  <!-- Show if Spouse's First Name not entered -->                            
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="No Spouse First Name" columns="1" 
            rendered="{!SpouseCon.Spouse_Converted__c == 'NoFName'}">
                <h1>Spouse must have a First Name entered</h1></br>
                Press Cancel to return and add Spouse First Name.                
             </apex:pageBlockSection>
            
        </apex:pageBlock>           
        </apex:actionregion>
    </apex:sectionheader>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
 
I have two questions:
1.  Is this the best way to do this type of 'branching'?
 
2.  When I do a 'Quick Save' from the Salesforce VF Page editor I get a Warning stating that,
Warning: The element type "apex:pageBlockSection" should be terminated by the matching end-tag "</apex:pageBlockSection>". at line 16 
(the bold line in the code above).  Why am I getting this warning?

Remove the sectionHeader close tag from the bottom of your page and change the open sectionheader tag to close straight after: 
<apex:sectionHeader title="Create Spouse As A New Contact" />

Thanks for the response.
 
Everything still functions correctly with the change you suggested, but I still get the same warning from the VF Page editor when doing a Quick Save.  Any other thoughts?
 
I thought I was duplicating exactly the coding in the VF Developers Guide on page 82 (Creating a Wizard).

The only other thing I can see wrong with it is your br tags.  Use <br /> instead of </br>.
 
Apart from that it looks ok to me.
