I would like to request the change of a tag from <br> to <br />. <br> is deprecated in the current W3C standard, which is XHTML 1.1. I understand that many browsers used by surfers don't fully support XHTML, specifically IE. However, changing from <br> to <br /> doesn't hurt older browsers one bit as they can display a new tag correctly, and this is also a part of migrating from HTML to XHTML in W3C's plan.
Personally, I want to change this tag because I'm developing XML template for AniDB and the template can't correctly display some fields, especially synopsis/description field, because it contains a number of <br> tags. Right now, I'm using a workaround method by using [[CDATA]] though it displays <br> mixed together with other information, which is not quite a good looking.
Change of <br> tag [DONE]
