User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

I have read the W3C Recommendations, and none of them relate to changing the
handling of the <br /> tag...

When a document has an XHTML 1.0 Strict or XHTML 1.1 DTD Declaritive, Firefox
(or more rather... Gecko) renders the page with a "larger" line-break rather
than a simple break when it encounters a <br /> tag

Page rendering goes back to "as expected" when I use a XHTML 1.0 Transitional
DTD Declaritive

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
My code (with some classes and content removed for obvious reasons):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<!-- *snip!* -->

<body>
	<div id="DocumentContainer">
		<div id="DocumentTop"><img src="IMG/top-left.jpg" alt="" title=""
id="DocumentTopImage" /></div>
		<div id="DocumentContent-Container">
		
			<div class="DocumentContent" id="ContentOne">
				<h1></h1>
				<h2></h2>
				<p></p>
				<p></p>
				<p></p>
			</div>
		
		</div>
		<div id="DocumentBot">
			<div id="DocumentBotMenu">
				<a href=""><img src="IMG/mnu-1-1.gif" alt="" title="" /></a><a href=""><img
src="IMG/mnu-1-2.gif" alt="" title="" /></a><a href=""><img
src="IMG/mnu-1-3.gif" alt="" title="" /></a><br />
				<a href=""><img src="IMG/mnu-2-1.gif" alt="" title="" /></a><a href=""><img
src="IMG/mnu-2-2.gif" alt="" title="" /></a><a href=""><img
src="IMG/mnu-2-3.gif" alt="" title="" /></a>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:  
Firefox renders the <br /> tag differently, causing spacing between the two
image lines

Expected Results:  
Have not have rendered any space between the lines

This is correct. The default vertical alignment of inline images is to the
baseline of the text. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align

This is one of the quirks we apply in quirks mode. See
