The important thing is not that the space is before the slash, but
that it's after the name.  Primitive HTML parsers seem to accept
anything after < up to a space or > as the element type name, so <BR/>
is taken as a "BR/" start-tag.  Adding attributes will work; I
typically use <BR CLASS="HACK"/> (which is valid HTML 4.0).
