Yup, absolutely. Inasmuch as anything is certain with HTML, it seems
fairly clear that self-closing tags will /render/ properly in HTML4,
even if they don't validate, so maybe it doesn't matter.

I'll have a think and see if I can't come up with a less hideous way of
handling the tags. If I can't, maybe we can just leave it.
