Here's what's happening. "<br>" by itself is not allowed in xml - it's not
"well-formed". So no xml document may contain it. You have to have either
"<br/>" or "<br></br>". The recommendation you cite is talking about html
documents that may be created, but it does not apply to the xml. No xml
parser will accept <br> by itself - that would be a serious bug.
Now, when you use an xslt stylesheet to create and html document by
transforming an xml document, by default the output is in xml. So you get
<br></br> or <br/> in the transformed output.
You can override the default as was pointed out earlier in this thread by
inserting the
<xsl:output method='html'/>
instruction in your stylesheet. Then the processor will translate <br/>
into <br>. But the input document still has to be well-formed xml, so
"<br>" is still not allowed there.
Has this addressed your issue?

BUT, no matter what we try, the parser always seems to insert a <br /> when
it finds a <br> in the xsl.
