OK, I'm making some progress on this.  I used a closed <p> tag rather than 
<br> and that seemed to work but I'm still getting an extra space on the 
new line.

Here is what I have right now:
>
>
<xsl:template name="itemSummaryView-DIM-description">
        <xsl:if test="dim:field[@element='description']">
                 <div class="simple-item-view-description 
item-page-field-wrapper table">
                
 <h5><i18n:text>xmlui.dri2xhtml.METS-1.0.item-description</i18n:text></h5>
                    <xsl:for-each 
select="dim:field[@element='description'][not(@qualifier)]">
                        <xsl:choose>
                            <xsl:when test="contains(., '&#xa;')">
                                   <xsl:value-of 
select="substring-before(., '&#xa;')"/>
                                   <p/>
                                   <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(., 
'&#xa;')"/>
                            </xsl:when>
                            <xsl:when test="node()">
                                   <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>           
               
                            </xsl:when>
                            <xsl:otherwise>
                                <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
                            </xsl:otherwise>
                        </xsl:choose>
                    </xsl:for-each>                       
                </div>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>

And this is what it produces:
