It could also affect 4.x (for those poor confused folks thinking that 4.x was "better" than 3.x ;-), at some point in time <br /> and friends were important enough to be mentioned in the notorious "appendix C". Clearly HTML5 has better things to do than to worry about such historical issues, but just allowing <br/> "also" in HTML when it never really worked in XHTML 1 is a rather odd move. Why can't they simply use <br> in HTML 1+, visible with any browser ? > (I know you used it until the summer of 2007 :-)) I'd use it still today, an unvoluntary "upgrade" :-( Now I'm unfortunately already spoiled.
