A command with HTML output can execute something like:

   print '<a href="#" onClick="javascript:window.close(); return 
true;">close</a>'

That would generate a link to close the window (effectively an alias for 
⌘W).

I’m not sure any commands actually use it. An example could be the 
LaTeX Typeset & View command, it would always output all the typesetting 
information, but if the PDF was succesfully created, and being set to 
open in an external viewer, it could then close the output window by 
outputting a <script> tag or having the controlling JS do it (depending 
on how the command is implemented).
