Well, sure, but the <tag/> is not the only compatibility problem
between HTML and XML. You would want to avoid using <tag></tag> syntax
(which in XML is == <tag/>) for non-containers. Also you don't want to
use <tag /> syntax for containers, empty or not. For example <h1 />
would generate the rest of the document using header 1. <h1></h1> on
the other hand would do nothing.
Since there already seems to be a xhtml extension in the CVS, I'd say
the problem is solved. :-)
