So:
    <a href="http://validator.xspf.org/referrer/"><img src="valid-xspf.png"
      width="88" height="33" style="border:0" alt="Valid XSPF Playlist"
      title="Valid XSPF Playlist" /></a>

It's legal HTML 4.01 to have the slash (as long as there is a space 
before it), and not having the slash is very much illegal XHTML.  Not 
having the trailing slash in the HTML 4.01 version would require there 
to be two versions.  Two versions is not feasible from a usability 
perspective.

So:
<a href="http://validator.xspf.org/referrer/"><img src="valid-xspf.png" 
width="88" height="33" style="border:0" alt="Valid XSPF Playlist" /></a>
