Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 -1. Very fringe case and I don't see the hook being used on a regular
 basis. Plus, since this is a theme hook, it's up to the theme developer to
 add the hook to their theme. I still very often come across themes without
 the head and footer hooks and those have been around since the dawn of
 time.

 If you need this just for your site, then just modify your themes you use.
 Hooks aren't registered anywhere -- you can make up your own ones. Just
 add `<?php do_action('your_hook'); ?>` to each of your themes and then use
 the hook.

 If you're writing a plugin to be distributed, then you should either have
 the user edit their theme and add a function where they want your plugin
 to output or you should use `ob_start()` or whatever it is to add in the
 HTML yourself.

 Recommend "wontfix".
