This seems like a reasonable aim, but don't we need to actually *be*
HTML(5?) as well in order to do this?  Currently we close <input/> and
<img/> tags even though HTML is explicit that this shouldn't be done.

I think we need to fix all of those as well if we're going to claim to
be HTML rather than XHTML.  I suspect that would be a bit big to review
as a single patch, but I certainly think that it should be applied as a
single patch series.
