RE: how do I do an equivalent of
in my XSL file?

If the output is <BR /> (with a space) many browsers will recognize that.
I don't know how to get Xalan to generate this format of an empty element.

Alternatively, you can use a Cruel XML Trick - use an entity.

<!DOCTYPE foo [
 <!ENTITY tagStart "<![CDATA[<]]>" >
 <!ENTITY tagEnd "<![CDATA[>]]>" >
]>

<xsl:stylesheet>

  &tagStart;BR &tagEnd;

</xsl:stylesheet>
