Because <img /> won't validate as strict html 4.01 :)
So, why HTML then, and not XHTML? Well I wass all for cutting edge  
XHTML yada yada, then I read in this book that there really is no  
difference AND XHTML makes some JavaScript stuff more complex if you  
really want to play by the rules.
I still have some problems not going XHTML, but then again, why?
for example, you're not allowed document.createElement('img'), but  
rather it should be document.createElementNS(... DTD path to xhtml,  
'img) instead.
The author spends little over two pages arguing that HTML is better  
than XHTML (for now). Books is DHTML utopia, from sitepoint, by  
Stuart Langridge.

I must confess I don't really know either way, but he makes a good  
argument :) So if you have any further points I'd like to hear about  
them, although it might blote the list a bit.
