HTML Agility Pack breaks XHTML

We have some HTML that contains the tag <br /> but when we parse this through the HTML Agility Pack to process the HTML, it converts it to <br>.

The solution to this the following:

var doc = new HtmlDocument();
HtmlNode.ElementsFlags["br"] = HtmlElementFlag.Empty;
doc.OptionWriteEmptyNodes = true;

doc.LoadHtml(html);
//process data
return doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;
