If that is the case, it may be a better idea to encapsulate them first - after all these pagebreaks sound like you are using them to create paragraphs in the first place.

No, they're all in proper paragraphs with proper classes and style sheets. I just get lazy sometimes and use <br> to add an extra line or 2 here and there, or to break things like quoted passages, eg
Code:
<p class="indentedquote">This is some quoted passage,
<br>This is the next line in the quote,
<br>and yet another line,
<br>and the final line in the quote.</p>
Another example is where the dedication starts exactly at the top of the page because it was formatted with the same style class as normal text and not with it's own specific class with a large top margin; and I want it to start a few lines down. I could figure out what class it is, edit that class, or create a new one. Or I can just add <br><br><br><br> in front of it and be done with it.
It's very fast and easy to format misc things like this, although, yes, I know it's taking shortcuts from the perfect world.
