Comment (by JeremyVisser):

 Replying to [comment:11 Nazgul]:
 > There are still a lot of HTML 4.x themes out there which won't like it
 if we put a self-closing tag in there, because they will fail validation.
 We'd have to differentiate between HTML and XHTML.

 There are other more significant places where XHTML markup is hardcoded,
 and this is really trivial to overcome if you're using a HTML 4.x theme by
 making a {{{functions.php}}} file like the following:

 {{{
 <?php

 remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_vanity');

 ?>
 }}}

 Can't get any easier than that.
