I think this page explains the roots of the confusion very well: Empty elements in SGML, HTML, XML, and XHTML http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/empty.html

It wasn't until I got to the bottom of the read that I realized Jukka wrote it -- I've known him for many years and he knows his stuff. I understand the concept of why not to use an empty element, which is if you want to add additional space between elements, then use css margins, or line-height, or whatever. It's just that a <br> tag works quicker than defining a set of rules for a class. In any event, thanks for the link -- that helped me to see that problem (as well as many others) better.
