You can't just use <br>, you have to use <br />

You can't just use <br>, you have to use <br />

Well I thought i'd explained that with saying you have too close every tag which means closing <br />

I wouldn't go rushing to convert all your websites to XHTML, not using tables for layout is something which needs more attention.
Every tag you've mentioned in the above can be used in HTML 4.1, and CSS isn't validated under the rules of the XHTML DTD anyway.
Using the <i> tag is bad use of semantic mark-up, and instead you should use the correct element in its place (e.g. em for emphasising something, or cite for when you're citing a word). Also I would use <strong> instead of <b> if you wanted to be really fussy.

<img src="pic.gif" style="width: 10px; height: 10px;" alt="pic.gif" />

The above code would not validate as XHTML strict on its own, as you would need to place it inside of another tag (e.g. inside of a heading tag or a paragraph).
