Nope. <br/> is valid markup. However, older browser may not recognize 
<br/>
as a valid <br> tag. That's why you often see the additional space.
Older (and newer for that matter) browsers ignore tags and attributes 
they
don't recognize. So, when parsing the html, the browser will recognize 
the
<br> tag, then notice an illegal attribute / and skip that so the end
result is an ordinary <br>.


Cheers,

Imar
