RE: including the HTML <BR> in XSL template

Actually, your suggestion works in Internet Explorer but not Netscape.  The
result from Xalan_1_0_1 is <BR/> (for both <BR/> and <BR></BR>), which
Internet Explorer treats like <BR>, but Netscape ignores altogether.  Is
there any way to get just a <BR> to come out?

XSL is XML compliant.  Empty elements (even HTML) have to
be well-formed.  

This will work:

<xsl:template match="Line">
       <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       <BR/>
</xsl:template>   

Either <BR/> or <BR></BR> will work.  This rule is also
true for the <HR> and <IMG> HTML elements.
