The "<br />" is okay; but "<meta ... />" and "<link ... />" are problems
for ordinary HTML.  Since Gerald points this out, I guess I was unclear on
just what tags you were going to change to have " />".  Sorry about that.

I agree that getting Texinfo output to display correctly on all browsers
is more important than conforming to an HTML standard.  But where we can
also conform to a standard, we should.  The standards are useful in that
they reduce the space across which browsers have to work.

What's the harm in giving a DOCTYPE that states the HTML standard that
the output is the closest to conforming to?  Adding such a line takes us
closer to conformance and doesn't break any browser, so why not do it.
