I just added the / to the end of some image tags on my dev machine and
checked the pages using NN6 and did not have this problem. I know NN4.x
hated the / if there was no space in front of it. So I use <br /> and <img
...etc... /> with the space before the /. Maybe that's the problem you're
having? Just a guess.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. This is my post yesterday to the 
Basics list which hasn't arrived yet:

Just discovered that NS 6 on the Mac won't render pages using the 
XHTML 1.0 transitional DTD, correctly. Tables break up, mouseovers 
don't work properly. Doesn't seem to be a problem with 4.01 
transitional. Fortunately the site is only 10 fairly simple pages.
