No, not at all. Such br's often break floating images, especially when
there is more than one on a page.
Remember that the *right*-floating images (left-floating on LTR wikis)
have a "clear:right" (resp. clear:left) attribute themselves. This means
that right-floating images will display underneath each other and never
next to each other. Ideally, all right-floating tables should have this
attribute too so they fit in with the vertical alignment of everything.
Unfortunately, too many people use "float:right" (or even worse, the
now-obsolete align='right') without a corresponding "clear:right" -- I
usually have to fix this myself.
If you add a <br style="clear: right;" />, you will cause not only other
images, but also text and headings to move below existing right-floating
images. This usually generates a lot of unnecessary vertical space. I
really really hate it when people do that when they should have added
the "clear:right" to a table that was missing it.
