test file:
<http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/br-block.html>

Given the following stylesheet
.x br {display:block; height:0; background:yellow;}

[class] br::before, [class] br::after {content:''; content:none;} /*  
opera */
#y br {float:left;}

#z br {height:1em !important; width:1em !important; display:block;  
float:left; background:yellow;}

* Gecko (1.9, 1.9.1a1pre): The br is floated, but width and height  
have no effect (compute to '0').

* Opera 9.5, when removing the generated content, the br is floated,  
width/height applied

* WebKit latest nightly, Safari 3.1:  those rules have apparently no  
effect at all.

Tested OS X 10.5.4 and Ubuntu Linux.  My virtual machine with Windows  
Xp is apparently on holiday.
