[tex4ht] [bug #434] HTML mode is spewing some XML code

[William F Hammond]

Absent the availability of SGML or XML validation for HTML5, aside from a
"validator" at W3C,
one needs to know what will pass the major browsers.

The last time I checked:
In HTML 5 as "text/html"  use <hr /> (with space) to enable xml
well-formedness except in foreign name spaces such as MathML, where, for
example, one wants to use <mspace></mspace> instead of <mspace />.  (<hr>
is OK, but that breaks xml well-formedness.)
