nl2br misprint

From the function page on php.net ( http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php ): "Starting with PHP 4.0.5, nl2br() is now XHTML compliant. All versions before 4.0.5 will return string with '<br>' inserted before newlines instead of '<br />'." Is this a misprint, ot does the revised function actually do this? According to the w3c, "<br />' is compliant, while "<br>" is not; see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/.
