Mostly to be XHTML compatible.
XHTML requires that all tags be lower case, and that ALL tags be closed.
So <p> must be followed by </p> to be "closed", but tags which generally don't enclose any page elements can be closed by the space and / within the tag.
So you could have <img src="blank.gef" /> as well as <br />.
