There is no such element in HTML. It may be a proprietary add-on.
When I updated for E23, I saw that most <br> tags were replaced by
<ps/>,
That is probably an error.
although I could not find the latter on any list of XML tags. Now I
see that there are both <ps/> and </ps> tags.
I would be interested to know what they mean.
* How and where are these tags defined?
They aren't.
* Are both correct and how do they differ (as they do not seem to
be paired)?
I think they are a mistake.
* Why are they preferred over <br>?
* Should the few remaining <br> tags be replaced?
No. Use <br> (for old-style HTML up to v4) or <br/> for XHTML and HTML5.
The <br/> element is normally not needed at all and should be a great
rarity: it is intended for premature linebreaks *inside* a paragraph. It
should never be used as a substitute for a paragraph — use normal
<p>...</p> for that. If you want repeated newlines, use a list. If you
want closer spacing, use CSS to control the layout. Abusing HTML to do
layouts that are better done in CSS is a sign of the amateur and I'm
pretty certain we should not be doing that.
