Problem with that is CF treats start and end tags differently depending on the tag. You can write Custom Tags with Start and End methods, so if you write <cf_tag /> you're essentially calling both start and end methods.
I think I've seen something on this list previously regarding this. It would be nice if CF was a valid XML-style language for several reasons, but I think this is one of the reasons you can not force CFML into valid XML syntax.

So that the mix of HTML and CFML in your source file is consistent (and attempts to be XHTML styled). If you get into the habit and closing all tags, you're less likely to write HTML that isn't XHTML, IMO.
