Point of "<br class="calibre1"/>"?
In almost every epub that I play with, I see things like:
Code:
<br class="calibre1"/>
Of course, I see it with classes other than calibre1. But, what's the point? Is the class merely to set the size of the break inserted? In the case of calibre1, though it's invariably got the underlying css of:
Code:
.calibre1 {
  display: block;
}
So, in that case, what's the difference between <br/> and <br class="calibre1"/>?

Similarly, I wonder about self-closing <a and <p tags with classes inside them that don't actually DO anything but set an id= . What's the point of the formatting classes inside them?

In your example, there's no point to <br class="calibre1"/>. When I find them, I convert them to <br/>. They do exactly the same thing. Also, if you come upon something like <i class="calibre4">, that can be changed to just <i>.

They correspond to special page break elements at the end of every chapter for MOBI (MOBI files are one big stream and need explicit page breaks.)

I see this quite often too… usually the calibre4 says something silly like “font-style:italics” in which case it is totally reasonable to just use <i> (If it makes you feel good, or are CDO like me you can add i {font-style:italics} to your css sheet)… but make sure it doesn’t have something else as well. Some times you might see something that changes the color, underline, or font type, etc. and you want to make sure you account for that.

Since I always see a <br class="calibre1"/>, is that construct added by Calibre's conversion process? Perhaps to handle the MOBI case Sarmat89 noted, above?

Of course, I see tons of non-Calibre classes used in the same way (and in things like <i class=...>, <b class=..., <em, strong, sup, sub, etc., etc.). And, as JSWolf suggested, I just convert them back to their base tags.

I doubt they are connected to the Mobi case mentioned since I see them in the middle of book titles to prettify the line breaks in a long book title for example.

One of the many reasons I now use KindleUnpack to convert azw3/KF8 to epub is that the css is not munged in the process.

You don't state where the <br/> is used in the text, but my understanding is that using <br/> as a scene break is a no-no. Is that what you are using it for? It's ok for in-line use.

Yep, that is my understanding also.
But I tend to remove that anyway and use...

In the first case, the lines will be one after another with no space in between. In your case, the lines will have space in between because the CSS class copy has a top margin. You could create a new CSS class called copy1 that does not have the top margin and that would work.

I used to remove the <br/> when it splits lines, but I'm just don't want to do it. I do remove any <br/> that's used a line space.

Oh, of course. I did not think of that.

In general, I don't use <br/> or <p></p> for paragraph spacing. I see a lot of that in the books I'm reformatting and I tend to just remove them. Where I do use <br/> is like JSWolf did, above, in his copyright example.

In fiction epubs, I really haven't really run across a need for particular vertical spacing of paragraphs or other elements. That's why I'm constantly surprised by <br class="... elements for a large number of text sizes.

Earlier today, I ran across a book that had about 36 different classes for paragraphs (besides Calibre's automatically produced varieties). They used an awful lot of those classes in <br tags (I guess so the vertical spaces they wanted matched the rest of the paragraph lines).

That sounds awful. Who is the publisher of that eBook?

The book is "Necropolis" by Michael Dempsey. It was published in 2011 by Night Shade Books. The number of paragraph classes seems a tad excessive to me. But what really bothered me was that with their defaults, every character was something like 3/4 of normal size and the character spacing reduced (I think). I've included the main stylesheet if you're interested:
