Definitely no : <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#dt-empty> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#NT-S> Or maybe for buggy browsers ?

Definitely no ??? <<<

I've always found this confusing. If one uses a <br> tag, you'll get a single line break and everything validates per W3C -- as long as you're not using a xml doctype. If you use <br/> or <br /> tags, then both will generate a line break, but both will also generate W3C shorttag validation warnings. If you use <br></br>, then you'll get a single line break, but that will also generate a W3C validation error, which is worse than a warning. However, if you read this: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#dt-empty> One would think that using <br></br> or <br/> tags are fine, but they're not -- and <br> isn't even mentioned. So considering all the different ways one can do this, the one that's the least problematic is <br>. Of course, one could use: <div> &nbsp; </div> and side-step the entire issue.
