This is what I do in my template - or this is why I have to add a
PHP file that needs to be loaded[1] instead of simply editing a tmpl +
CSS file.

In addition <br> has no attribute break in XHTML - even not in HTML
strict.

A stylesheet replacement for this could be:

<br style="clear: both;">

E.g. have a look at
http://www.jayallen.org/journey/2003/01/xhtml_replacing_br_clearall

He describes it changing the following block level element, but it
should work with <br> too IIRC.

[1] Okay, I am adding other functions too, but overriding
$InlineReplacements should not be needed for templates.
