They would with a DOCTYPE like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Note: 'XHTML' above...

*XHTML* requires the tag and and would raise at least a
warning if were missing or there were br's with out the / ( ).

Plain HTML4 does not need the and should not support the 
tags (whether browsers browsers honor it or not).
