I think this case will answer my question unambiguously:

<div direction='ltr'> A <span style="unicode-bidi:override; 
direction:rtl;"> B &#x202d; C<br/> D &#x202c; E </span> F </div>

(where A...F stand for arbitrary strings, not for characters; spaces 
added for readability, not part of the text)

Is the explicit LRO ("&#x202d;") reopened on the other side of the <br>? 
or asked another way, is the type of the characters in the fragment D  
overridden to L or to R?


Thanks,
Eric.
