The majority of browsers do this (exception here is IE) but you have to
serve XHTML with proper content type which almost nobody does today.

However, there is an easy fix on the stylesheet side if you are using
Saxon. Saxon supports xhtml output method even in XSLT 1.0 code. This
output method automatically adds closing tags to problematic elements
like <a>, <script>, <div>, ...

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";
                exclude-result-prefixes="saxon"
                version="1.0">

<xsl:import href=".../path/to/xhtml/chunk.xsl"/>

<xsl:param name="chunker.output.method">saxon:xhtml</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="chunker.output.indent">yes</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="chunker.output.omit-xml-declaration">yes</xsl:param>

</xsl:stylesheet>

HTH,
