Here's what I think should be an acceptable final patch. I dropped the
CDATA mess, and came up with a slightly different implementation for
handling self-closing tags. It's maybe a little /bulkier/ than the
previous implementation, but not so hacky, and may continue to be useful
in the future. There's also a documentation patch.

Overall, looks good, but again, i would _strongly_ argue that html5 should generate valid xhtml.
If it doesn't, it will really break my post-processing workflow...

Therefore, `org-html-close-tag' should check that the doctype is not a flavor of html4 rather than a flavor of xhtml. An alternative would be to add ("xhtml5" . "<!DOCTYPE html>") to the doctype alist, and the appropriate testing for being html5 and xhtml.

See the discussions of polyglot markup @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_markup and http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html-polyglot-20110405/#dfn-polyglot-markup for the rationale.
