If I validate my page with Documenttype XHTML 1.0 Strict at 
the W3C validator I get the following error:
"Error: element "br" not allowed here; possible cause is an 
inline element containing a block-level element
explanation: 
http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html#not-allowed"
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.enddeluxe.de%2Fopticom_de.html&doctype=Inline


But the br tag is in the DTD: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd

If I use XHTML 1.0 Transitional there is error reported:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.enddeluxe.de%2Fopticom2_de.html&doctype=Inline

I don't understand this. If the br tag is not part of XHTML 
1.0 Strict with what should I replace it?
