: In XHTML, this has discrepancy been ameliorated by adding the closing

: "<wink>" would, of necessity, become "<wink/>".

In fact, since <BR>, while empty, does admit of attributes, XHTML must
allow tokens to follow the slash, and this allows the very important
fractional winkery to be spelt also.  I'm sure we can get the TimBot to
change to using divisors rather than multipliers. <wink/10>
