There is no such thing as <br /> spacing. The <br> or <br /> means line
break. Browsers often interpret a lone <br> as a request for empty line, but
don't rely on such (mis)behavior.

Just use margin settings in CSS.

Certainly it's an error, since nothing but whitespace is allowed between
<li> elements.

Using <li>line<br></li> would be valid but pointless: no particular effect
is guaranteed, and you can affect vertical spacing more easily in CSS.
