I've used self-closing divs some times. For scene breaks, where I want an empty div with a fixed height, writing <div class="break" /> seemed cleaner than <div class="break></div>. It works fine in my reader (ADE-based) and didn't cause flightcrew to complain. Last time I checked I arrived to the conclusion it was valid.
