it's a non-valid tag introduced by Navigator in the v4 browsers in an
attempt to help developers move away from the spacer.gif...

essentially, it accepted height and width and just took up space...

you can still find examples in the wild, although it's fallen into the
hyper-endangered tag pile, and we're still hiring hunters to track the
last of them down...
