It is not taken literally. Generally, the <br/> element was introduced
as not an object, but just presentative instruction for UA, 'make line
break'.
I'd like to cite some my message addressed to www-talk:

Subject: [XHTML2 proposal] &br; over <br/>
Whether <br/> will coexist with <l>line</l> (that is good for code
listings, cites etc.), then would it be better to replace it by entity
&br; = #x0000a?
<end of cite>
Note: in popular browsers (including Opera 9.5 alpha) &x0000a; entity
does not work.
