Care to mention what functions they are? The nl2br() function has the
following note:
Starting with PHP 4.0.5, nl2br() is now XHTML compliant. All versions
before 4.0.5 will return /string/ with '<br>' inserted before newlines
instead of '<br />'.
Nowhere does it mention about returning '<br/>' and I can't think of any
built-in function that returns '<img/>'.

XHTML 1.0 Strict MAY use text/html as the MIME type - there's no issue.
Once you move onto XHTML 1.1, then you SHOULD be using
application/xhtml+xml, and SHOULD NOT be using text/html.
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#summary>.
