Addendum: Strictly speaking if you remain in gear without disengaging the clutch and simply apply the brakes you are engine braking. I think this general notion is being somewhat confused with downshifting before applying the brakes. You'll notice that downshifting with syncro-rev on (or blipping the throttle) doesn't provide any engine braking so they really are independent issues.
