Irrelevant.

Self-closing container tags are basically the only risky XHTML syntax in IE, as I understand it. I suggest you try this and see what you get. If it turns out to be a problem, use <div></div>, which is valid HTML and XHTML. I don't think Rails' helpers produce empty containers in any case, so you're safe. Again: *try it*. If you have problems, then fix them. But most things should Just Work, so don't worry until something *actually* goes wrong.
