 In our project we need to give a reasonably book-alike presentation of
 printed book pages on the web. We've managed to rather accurately style
 xml resources but for one minor (?) exception. We cannot find a way to
 give an arbitrary element the characteristics of the html br element.
 I tried to copy the features I could find from Firefox's DOM inspector
 Object - computed style list, but what we end up with doesn't behave
 accordingly. Help would be much appreciated!

How about reusing that element if that actually exactly represents
what you need? As in:

 br xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/

...

Cheers,

 As we're talking about xhtml (rather than any other implementation of
 xml), what would be the advantage of calling the stylesheet in the xml
 declaration if the link rel=stylesheet .../ mechanism is still allowed?

There was this note once from the W3C which said that the XML Style
Sheet PI should be used when the media type of the XHTML file is
application/xhtml+xml[1]. And as should is similar to a must...

On the other hand, W3C NOTEs are best ignored.

Neither does HTML 4.01 Strict. However, there are many differences

I don't know what the usual procedure is, but the float property does 
require a width to be specified, so I think you probably have two choices.
Not anymore. CSS 2.1 changes this, because browsers didn't bother when 
'width' isn't specified.
