Multiple BR tags have long been problematic: different browsers have
done different things in the past. If you want two empty lines, it is
safer to put a between the BR tags to make sure the browser does
what you want.
Another issue is that BR is supposed to force a line break, but when you
use two BR tags, what you really are doing is trying to introduce a
larger vertical gap, and for this you should really be using CSS instead.
