They still work... but I'm thinking toward the future.... <br> is prefectly valid HTML4, however it's not valid XHTML (like you've said)... When was the last time you saw a request for an HTML page.... Usually it's a request to have a page built.. or it says it has to comply to XHTML... It's like comparing VB and VB .Net... VB .Net is just the next incarnation... the newer way of doing things... so why teach people the old and deprecated method... especially if their just learning...
It seems unfair to say... ok so to insert a line break you do <br> and to insert a horizontal line you do <hr> and then to turn around and tell them to do <br /> and <hr />... There are tons of basic HTML tutorials on the net.. that do things like <font color="red">... When was the last time that you saw someone that knew what they were doing use the <font> tag... It's proper HTML.. but the net is saturated with that... Why not ignore that and just do XHTML.. do what's being used these days... not what was used 5 years ago?
It's your tutorial but I think it would be better for you as an author and as someone putting their work out there and for someone in the learning stages.
