Comment (by Otto42):

 +1 to this.

 Having a duplicate generator tag for some themes won't hurt anything in
 the short term.

 And anything that makes theme writing easier should be adopted. I think
 that quite a lot of the meta tags and such should move into
 actions/filters in the core. Theme writing is often done by people who
 don't know much PHP, the more we can take out of themes, the better off
 everybody is.

 As for the self-closing tag thing, isn't <meta ...></meta> valid both in
 HTML and XHTML? If self-closing is such a big problem for some themes,
 don't use it.
