RE: [xml] xmllint and HTML

[Jesse Pelton <jsp PKC com>]

On the second point, at least, xmllint is correct.  According to
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/present/graphics.html#edef-HR,
an end tag for <hr> is forbidden in HTML.  (It's a different story in XHTML,
of course, but XHTML should be treated as XML, not HTML.)
