It's actually <br/>, the shorthand for an empty element (all elements 
require closing tags now so you could use <br></br> but that's worse 
IMO).  The <br /> is just a workaround for browsers that happen to 
handle it better with a space (HTML 4 user agents).

I agree with a space it's ugly but I don't mind it without.  And you 
might prefer a space on something like this:

<img src="foo.jpg" alt="A very pretty picture of foo" />

Oh well.
