I think someone at W3C looked around and conclused that "<br />"
(and "<hr />" etc) was a good solution for (X)HTML if you were
willing to punt on version 2 browsers.
At any rate it's pretty widely accepted. It's to avoid this
particular issue that Sun's XML package prints empty tags with
the otherwise unnecessary space before the "/>", in fact!

widely that one is accepted?
