[xmlc] <br clear="none"></br>

Greetings list subscribers.  I'm having a problem with how XMLC (2.3- 
beta3) is rendering my documents.  For every <br/> tag in my input  
document, I'm getting <br clear="none"></br> in my outputted  
document.  This wouldn't be a problem, except that every web  
developer's favorite browser, Internet Explorer, isn't rendering it  
the same as a <br/> tag.

I'm outputting the document using a org.enhydra.xml.io.DOMFormatter  
with the following OutputOptions object:
----
        XHTML = new OutputOptions();
        XHTML.setEnableXHTMLCompatibility(true);
        XHTML.setUseAposEntity(false);
        XHTML.setOmitXMLHeader(true);
        XHTML.setMIMEType("text/html");
----
I've tried flipping just about every flag on the OutputOptions, but  
with no change in <br/> behavior.

The relevant section of my options.xmlc looks like this:
----
        <inputDocument processSSI="true" documentFormat="xml"/>
        <documentClass createGetTagMethods="true"
                       suppressGetElementMethods="true"
                       deferParsing="true"
                       dom="xhtml"/>
        <parser name="xerces"/>
----

If I debug, I can see that the actual HTMLBRElement implementation is  
a org.enhydra.xml.xhtml.dom.xerces.XHTMLBRElementImpl, and it really  
does have one attribute node (clear="none").

So it seems like it's a parsing problem rather than a formatting  
problem.  I've debugged all the way into XercesDOMParser's call to  
super.parse().  I don't have the source to where it goes from there,  
but when it gets back from the parse() call, the document already has  
the <br clear="none"/> tags in it.  A breakpoint in  
XHTMLBRElementImpl.setClear() never gets hit, so, as one would  
expect, it's getting set with the more generic setAttribute() method.

I had no idea that there was even a "clear" attribute available on a  
<br/> tag.  So, I guess my questions are: Has anyone else seen this  
behavior?  Is there an obvious setting for me to change to stop it?

Thanks,
Erik

P.S.  I'm also getting shape="rect" attributes on all my <a> tags for  
no particular reason.  It doesn't bother me too much yet, because it  
doesn't seem to affect page rendering.
