I doubt it, but what did you mean by a "[non-]_empty_" line? A line
containing nothing but one line-height's worth of space is what a lone
<br> gives me on my Linux version of FF.
e.g.
<style type="text/css">
div { font-size: xx-large; background-color: pink }
</style>
...
<body>
<div>
<br>
</div>
</body>
I just meant that when one puts in a <br> after a short bit of
text which continues after the <br> and can be seen as say three
lines of text in a div that is suitably width limited, the three
lines are all full of text, none are empty of text. There is no
empty line.
But, I suppose, come to think about it, JK was meaning something very
specific about a _lone_ <br>, not merely _one_ <br>. Perhaps I got the
context wrong?
While I am here, both FF and Safari pile up empty <br>s according
to their number. I feintly recall it being said it was not
certain how browsers behaved in this respect.
Alas, they seem to behave as expected thus probably aiding and
abetting the poor practice of using these things for layout.
