RE: Promotion of XHTML

I did.  From:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html

<!ELEMENT BR - O EMPTY                 -- forced line break -->
<!ATTLIST BR
  %coreattrs;                          -- id, class, style, title --
  >

So BR has a required open tag, an option closing tag, and no contents.  You
wrote:

<br /> in HTML is equivalent to <br>&gt;

I fail to see how you came to this conclusion based on the DTD.  Can you
explain in detail what led you to this conclusion?

Try reading the HTML DTD....

that it is not crazy enough.
