[Bug 2406] when link tag is ended with / in header validator parses off by one

This sounds like the problem I have.  I am using the Link tag for a CSS
stylesheet and am trying to be both HTML 4.01 Strict and XHTML 1.0 Strict
compliant.  The Link tag reads as follows in my document:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../mysitestyle.css"/>

This is XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant (and validates properly).  However, when
validating for HTML 4.01 Strict (as is what the page is presently designed to
use), it returns the error described by "arl (Ari Lemmke)".

It is obvious to me that this is a Header field parsing error, as the Link tag
is the only tag within my documents' Headers that use the "/>" to end the tag,
while I use "<br/>" throughout my documents and none of those tags result in an
error.
