Beautifulsoup adds unwanted closing line break tags when opening linebreak tags are present.
This might rather be a bug in beautifulsoup, but it seems unlikely to get fixed there (see http://henry.precheur.org/python/beautiful_soup.html).
Also, I am not very happy with this workaround for the problem, but other alternatives seem worse (e.g. using lxml instead of html.parser also works around the problem, as lxml replaces
<br>with<br/>).
