Whether browsers honor it or not is immaterial. It is directly against
the HTML spec, and attempts to validate pages with such ops will fail.
Just because browsers currently support it does not mean future browsers
will support something that violates the spec. It's also very sloppy
programming.
You are much better off conforming to the spec so the browser doesn't
have to guess at what you want.
Additionally, <br> does not have the same effect as <p>...</p>.
