<br /> is a perfectly valid tag in XHTML. My understanding is that it
is done this way so that you can switch the doctype to be XHTML
without anything breaking. The downside is that older browsers don't
like it. A quick solution is to simply do a global search and replace
of all occurrences of " />" with ">" in all PHP files. The resulting
HTML will validate as conforming to HTML 4.01 Transitional. (I know
that, because I'm doing it myself.)
