In my opinion, this leads to sloppy programming,
and it is inconsistent with closeTag, which does
not write implicit close tags.

A cleaner option would be to add a method that
closes a given number of tags. This could also
help for writing exception traces
to a stream for debugging purposes:

Where handling an exception, this new method could
be used to close all pending elements except from
<html> and <body> (for xhtml documents), allowing
to write a stack trace to the stream properly.

Best,
Stefan
