Re: XHTML 1.0 validator at W3C

I'm surprised that the "br" element is part of the Strict DTD then, as it's
surely presentation markup.

I tried to see if it was discussed in the HTML list at w3c but their search
wasn't working. Does anyone know why it was included or an argument as to
how it's somehow semantic and not for just presentation purposes?

Regards,
Josh
