Ok, the way I see it is true XHTML is what ever is going to validate under the Strictest Rules of XHTML.
So then i made up a little markup that can be ran at http://validator.w3.org/
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w
+3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 <html lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xht
+ml">
<head>
<title>HTML BR TAG</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is Good<br /></p>
<p>This is wrong<br><br/></p>
</body>
</html>

Scroll down till you see "Validate by direct input" paste the markup above in it, select "Use Doctype XHTML 1.0 Strict", you can also check "Show Source" and "Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy" HTML tidy will show the right markup to use.

Spiel auf Hündinnen.

    Ok, the way I see it is true XHTML is what ever is going to validate under the Strictest Rules of XHTML.

    That's a fair meter.

    Now, if only you had tested what we were talking about.
    <p>This is wrong<br><br/></p>
    should be
    <p>This is wrong<br></br>...or not</p>

    Once you do that, you'll get "This document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Strict!". So, both <br/> and <br></br> are accepted by w3c's XHTML validator.
