The common theme in all these solutions is the use of the preceding-sibling
axis and position function. There may be an even more concise solution than
this which omits the xsl:if, incorporating its test attribute into the match
of the xsl:template.

Pascal:

How about--

<xsl:template match="br">
   <xsl:if test="not(count(preceding-sibling[position()&lt;3][self::br]) 
&gt; 1)">
      <br/>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
