Or maybe padding or margin, as suggested in another reply. Setting
line-height for a paragraph affects _all_ lines, so it would be somewhat
problematic here. Anyway, some container element is usually needed
for setting the spacing, and often it is best to replace, say,
<div class="...">foo<br>bar</div>
by two div elements:
<div class="...">foo</div> <div class="...">bar</div>
because then you can just concentrate on setting a bottom margin or a top
margin and not worry about any <br>.

Technically, we could set
br { display: block; height: 2em; }
but that does not work in practice. At least IE seems to implement <br> in
a special way that is immune to CSS (except that display: none removes its
effect)
