Personall I prefer XHTML. Here is a simple reason. I like this:

<option>1</option>
<option>1</option>

because it clearly indicates start and end of the value. I do not like this:

<option>1
<option>2

because it is a mess.

But if <option> (and other similar tags) are closed correctly, there is no
reason to keep unclosed <br> tags. All tags should be either closed or not,
no way they can be mixed for me. So I am for <br />. I just like everything
to be unified, structured and beautiful. This speeds up things and makes
life easier.

Yes, it adds a certain extra size to HTML but it also adds certain beauty
to it, so it is worth having.
