Comment (by rob1n):

 A bit off-course here, but are there really that many HTML 4 themes? WP
 outputs self-closing tags by default, and that's hard coded into the core.
 Unless I've missed something big, it would take either an output buffer
 filter (clumsy and slow) or changing core files, or, to an extreme point,
 filtering each output.
