would you object to <hr/> being output as <hr></hr> (and similarly img,
br, meta, etc?

I fail to see why it is a problem at all, if you give the file
containing <div/> to an xhtml renderer such as mozilla or netscape, it
works fine. If you want to use an html system then quite a lot of things
are likely to go wrong if you give it xml, so why not use the html
output method?

It isn't only <div/> If you are sending to a legacy html browser you'll
need <br /> not <br/> or <br></br> the content of script elements is
almost impossible to get right as html script is CDATA and that does not
exist as an element type in XML, ...
