And less. I'm not sure I see what you are really discussing, and the Subject
line seems to be rather far from it. But if correcting potentially
misleading statements is the theme here, I'll offer my 0.02 euros:

Yes, but that corresponds to
<br><span>...</span><br>
and cannot be used if you want the content of the span appear inline, just
followed by a line break. That is, there is no effective way of causing just
one line break in CSS. (Using generated content doesn't count, since it's
not supported by IE.)
