OK I see, I was thinking of implementations which don't have such semantic markup:

This is bold text. And this has no formatting

This would be rendered as 'This is bold text.And this has no formatting'.

Using an apply-templates method would allow you to match on the br tag and add a space.

No, it's excellent practice if you're using "mixed content" (specifically,
inline markup giving properties of individual words or characters where you
want to ignore these properties), and it makes your code resilient to the
introduction of new properties.
