Not yet, but we're planning to add some signals. That would also make it 
easier to do performance tests.
For now I'd try using the "[FE][tidy]" configuration of TYPO3 or use one 
of the existing cleanup extensions.
Obviously this only works in some cases. If you output the rendered 
result to the browser directly, you can post process is "manually".

I just gave it a shot and it seems to work:

and does not check for tags etc).

NOTE: Interceptors are not (yet) part of the Public API [1]!
