Maybe I need to learn something here.

Are you saying then that if I want to use a <br/> tag, then I can't use:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>

So, instead I must use the <br> tag?

If so, interesting.

That's what the DocType is. It tells the browser what version of (X)HTML you're using and therefore which tags are allowed and which are not. It has a major effect on some browsers, and if you use the right one it can help a lot when trying to make pages look the same in all browsers. Worth reading up on.
