The "<br />" is okay; but "<meta ... />" and "<link ... />" are problems
for ordinary HTML. Since Gerald points this out, I guess I was unclear on
just what tags you were going to change to have " />". Sorry about that.
I agree that getting Texinfo output to display correctly on all browsers
is more important than conforming to an HTML standard. But where we can
also conform to a standard, we should. The standards are useful in that
they reduce the space across which browsers have to work.
What's the harm in giving a DOCTYPE that states the HTML standard that
the output is the closest to conforming to? Adding such a line takes us
closer to conformance and doesn't break any browser, so why not do it.
