Re unterminated HTML (was XSL: xt question)

Re problems with <BR> -- I've been solving this by a global-replace of <BR>
with <BR></BR>, taking advantage of the fact that HTML ignores tags (such
as /BR) that it doesn't recognize.

I'm not convinced this is any better than the <BR /> or <BR hack="ugly"/>
tricks.

The right long-term answer might be to avoid the question by defining XSL
in terms of operations on the Document Object Model. DOM is being designed
to support both XML and HTML documents, and theoretically could support
other document languages as well. This would pass the buck for the language
issues to whoever's writing parsers and generators that speak DOM.
