Here's what I think should be an acceptable final patch. I dropped
the
CDATA mess, and came up with a slightly different implementation for
handling self-closing tags. It's maybe a little /bulkier/ than the
previous implementation, but not so hacky, and may continue to be
useful
in the future. There's also a documentation patch.
Overall, looks good, but again, i would _strongly_ argue that html5
should generate valid xhtml.
If it doesn't, it will really break my post-processing workflow...
Therefore, `org-html-close-tag' should check that the doctype is not a
flavor of html4 rather than a flavor of xhtml. An alternative would be
to add ("xhtml5" . "<!DOCTYPE html>") to the doctype alist, and the
appropriate testing for being html5 and xhtml.

and

for the rationale.
