Re: Bug #11075: bad operation of nl2br function

No, this does not break existing browsers. The problem is that nl2br has been around for a long time. Once you understand what nl2br does, you never need to view the function's documenation again. All the sudden, someone sees the <br /> output, they think "bug!" and report it. They never think to view the documentation again since it's such a trivial function. Personally, I think people should pay more attention to web standards... if they did, they would know it's XHTML.
