Any reason at all, for an extra return after </html>?

Question

Are there any microscopic reasons at all (beyond superstition), to add an extra return after </html> in (X)HTML documents?

Is there any significant reason at all, not to stop this habit of mine? (To me, it looks a lot cleaner with the last line number being the same as the last bit of code, but I'm curious to know if there are any known consequences/possible effects between keeping or not keeping the extra return, such as the last line not being interpreted or something like that.)

Answer 1

It's just superstition. If I remember correctly, one of the earlier IE versions (2 or 3) would throw an error if you didn't have an extra line break there, but I think that hasn't mattered for quite some time.
