I'm afraid browser don't agree with this, though. I'm not sure about input but I'm positive that <div></div> is not the same as <div /> as far as browser rendering
goes.

Actually as far as XML (and consequently XHTML) is concerned:

<input type="text" name="a" value="a"></input>

Is the same as:

<input type="text" name="a" value="a" />

Depending on the mime type there is a huge difference.
text/html --> sgml parser in use
application/xhtml+xml --> xml parser is in use.
And no, slamming an xhtml doctype at the top of the page has no effect (doesn't affect the mime-type).

Note: the upcoming Firefox 3 and other browsers using the Gecko 1.9 rendering engine are more strict in handling this.
