Well, you say a "keystroke or two". With three, you can hit
command-option-. three times, and it will close each one in
succession. It's just a quick ripple - hold the modifiers, tap period
once for each tag you want to close.

Given I don't have more than 3/4 tags I want to close at once like
that, I think that's a perfectly acceptable situation.

If you've got long, repetetive lines, the other solutions suggested
might work; alternatively, consider building the tags first with some
form of column typing, and then later add the content.
