Actually, it does. Empty table cells by default do not have a 
minimum height of [line-height]. They have a minimum height
of zero. Also, in Quirks, empty cells (<td></td>) are not 
shown. <td><br></td> is not empty.

Although replacing line breaks in <pre> with <br> doesn't 
affect the visual rendering, it affects the source code in 
a way that makes it hard to read and edit.
