While I'm all for trimming excess code, I just cannot for the life of me strip out closing tags because they are optional in HTML. I'd be concerned that something, somewhere would not parse the document correctly if I removed the closing </head> element.
Are my concerns unfounded?

Technically, they are not really optional. It's just that most browsers are badly written and don't really care. I for one consider this a problem -- but it's SOP for M$. They write crap, and let those that purchase the software beta-test it. Then charge the beta-testers when they need help getting around the bugs.

This is not a problem with XHTML. It's a problem with IE.
