Sam is right, the server response must be well-formed XML. Taconite works by processing the XML document of the XMLHttpRequest object (responseXML). So any "content" in the response must play by the rules of XML and that means no self-closing tags. So if you need a paragraph tag you can use either <p /> or <p> </p>. If you need a br you must use <br />. But there are no tag-soup issues here. Taconite does all the DOM modifications using native DOM methods.
