Bug description:  nl2br should have option for generating HTML instead of XHTML

Description:
------------
nl2br should include an optional argument to make it generate HTML instead
of XHTML. Not every site uses XHTML, and PHP doesn't usually seem like an
XHTML-specific language to me - heck, it can even echo out C code if you
were that crazy. (No offense to anyone who's actually tried that.)

XHTML could still be the default, but the function should be changed to
something like nl2br($text, $xhtml=FALSE).

While <br /> may only generate a warning in the W3C validator, it
recommends only using it in XHTML documents, not HTML. Besides that, people
view pages with browsers, not hyperactive validators.
