Yes, use an empty block: <block/>

No.  Since the block construct breaks the flow in the block-progression 
direction, an empty block acts just like <br/> in XHTML.

Flowing the following:

     <block>This is a test<block/>with a line break</block>

Produces:

     This is a test
     with a line break

I hope this helps.
