-1 from me.

The example you're referring to seems to be different in kind. In it,
the form controls and labels  are *not* contained by divs as they are
in the CSS styled content form output. In such a situation, the <br />
becomes excess markup cruft (i.e. since the relevant 'clear' property
can be applied to the divs themselves the brs become superfluous).
