How to use ora:processXSLT to create HTML with BR tags included?

Question

I am using a .xsl to create HTML for use as part of a notification process. The issue is that if in the .xsl I include the
tag, when the transform engine runs to make the HTML it creates <br> tags with out the maching </br> tags. (in doing some reading this seems to be a feature of most XSLT engines) But the result is invalid XML, so when I attempt to assign the output to a variable the process faults and I get the following error:
XPath expression failed to execute.
Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "ora:processXSLT("XML_PURCHASE_ORDER_to_HTML.xsl", bpws:getVariableData("inputVariable", "payload", "/ns1:XML_PURCHASE_ORDER"))", the reason is The XML data is invalid.
The XML data is invalid; the reason is "Error on line 100 of document : The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "
". Nested exception: The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "

You can probably set the output format in the stylesheet, like:
<xsl:output method="txt" indent="no" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
if you really don't want to use xhtml. The result might have to be wraped in a cdata block in the bpel flow?
