But why stop there? if tag minimisation is what you want and you had an 
SGML DTD (or a newly proposed xmlnext schema or an html-like parser) 
then you could do

<Book:Book>
<Book:Author>John Grisham
<Book:Title>The Case of the Hidden Claw

as Title wouldn't be allowed inside Author, so Author would close, and 
then the end of file would close the open Title and Book.
