Well, you explicitly mentioned <br />, so Karl (unnecessarily) reverted

Not a tragedy, but unnecessary work for him (and even more should makeinfo

I agree, but I'd only do that if and only if the output generated really
fully complies with the DOCTYPE in questions.  According to Janis, this
now seems to the case for the latest pre-release and HTML 4.01.
