So in a UA which implements <br> using generated ::before this would 
remove the line-break, and in a UA which implements <br> using generated 
::after this would leave the line-break, right?

And in a UA which treats <br> as a replaced element this may or may not 
do anything at all?

I don't see anything wrong with requiring that <br> not be a replaced 
element, but that seems like an HTML decision, not a CSS one.
