The problem with allowing this is that <br></br> means <br><br> which is not intuitive at all. Also, it might lead people to think that <img>x</img> should work and file bugs on browsers regarding that while it really should not (and cannot). This does suck a little when introducing new void elements, but keeping the syntax consistent is worth it in my opinion. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
