So far I have always thought that once the file is loaded, there is no need to keep any connections open or to send packets in order to close them. In fact it seemed to me logical that once the document is loaded, this "handshake closing packets" (or whatever the proper technical term is) should be assumed as sent which closes the connection. This means - it should not be related to closing the browser. Otherwise it seems it may be a privacy issue itself and the server software may be using such "closing packets" as information about (potentially) knowing what the user is doing on his computer (closing the browser, time spent on the site or anything along these lines).

Do you think you could probably point me out to the correct RFC (or whatever web standard document applies) to read more about that process?
