Re^3: For valid HTML

Actually, <BR/> would be the start of a SHORTTAG construct (ending with the next slash). It's not supported by most mainstream browser, but it's a valid SGML construct, and the HTML DTD doesn't prohibit it (unfortunally). See SGML features with limited support.

Actually, `<BR/>` would be the start of a SHORTTAG construct (ending with the next slash). "Actually"? Not only do I know that, I covered that case. ("Browsers don't support the correct use.") but it's a valid SGML construct, and the HTML DTD doesn't prohibit it (unfortunally) Not quite. `BR` can't have a body. `<BR//` might be valid HTML, but `<BR/<.../` is not.
