What is the proper way to handle a <br> (line break element) inside a

An empty block <block/> approximates <br/> and is sufficient for breaking
up text into two separate lines.
If you want the multiple <br/> behaviour of leaving blank lines, then use
<block><leader></block>
Does a simple character substitution of a carriage return linefeed work?
No, because these white-space characters are reduced to spaces during
refinement.
I hope this helps.
