What you're suggesting is having the view helpers render differently
based on doctype.
This may be a possibility now that the new doctype() helper has been
added to the incubator; if called prior to any other helpers, it could
be used to hint how rendering should proceed.
If you would like to spearhead such an effort, please create a proposal
in the wiki. :-)
BTW, to my knowledge, closing elements are *optional* for HTML 4.0.1 --
i.e., both:
<input type="button" />
and
<input type="button">
are valid syntax.
