A suggestion:

You can have a template to match text() -- for large documents you
might want something more specific, such as course/description/text()

In that template, you can see if you have a following-sibling::br and,
if so, generate <line><xsl:value-of select="."/></line> or whatever,
and if not, <xsl:apply-templates/>.

Alternatevely, map br elements into a sequence using for-each in the
parent, but that's a little trickier.
