Details

Put a hr or br tag in a page, the tag should look like <hr /> or <br /> instead of <hr> or <br>. Alternatively, the opening tag could be followed by a closing tag (I suspect it would fail with img tags as well). Failure to do this results in malformed pages that can't be parsed with tools that require well-formed xml. Any code generating xhtml or xml (or html) should follow the compatibility guidelines given in: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines At the very least, it should not destroy a document that is already xml compliant before being edited. This should be an easy fix. GIMP had a similar problem with imagemaps that was patched the following day.
