Yes, I see that. It looks like there was something else that resulted in
a newline added at the end of the exported, including published, HTML
files (in previous Emacs versions).

It's not necessarily a problem, since HTML parser implementations are
permissive. Still, a couple of arguments for adding it by default:

1. diff tools output "\ No newline at end of file" message when a
newline is missing. Supposedly, it's not optimal for default behavior.

2. POSIX.1-2017 states:
"3.206 Line
A sequence of zero or more non- <newline> characters plus a terminating
<newline> character."

3. Ending a line of text with a particular identifier is rather a
canonical approach.
