BR tags in navigator look alot like margins. In fact, the presence of a BR will cause the object that follows top-margin to be collapsed with the vertical distance applied by the BR. (Examples include <BR CLEAR=ALL><P>)

java.sun.com exhibits this behavior (see j:/html/640-5.html)

I don't think BR tags should collapse...and I don't think they do in IE.

The BR element should not be treated as a special case. It is an element just like any other (albeit empty, like <IMG> and <HR>). You should simply give it its behaviour using CSS: BR:before { content: "\A"; } This would result in the solving of all margin collapse issues, since it would then act identical to all other elements. See also bug #2590.

Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

This was mostly a note to myself about how one might treat br clear=... I don't need the note anymore.

No idea what you're talking about, but it probably doesn't belong on this bug.
