- The sequence &lt;FOO /&gt; can be interpreted in at least two different ways,
- depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/'
- terminates the tag &lt;FOO (with an implied '&gt;'). However, since many
- browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict
- DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and
- reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.
