Linux bridges can have IP addresses, and in fact is a must if you want to
run a proxy there but it is not the point.

ip forwarding should not be needed in a bsd bridge either.. a bridge is
by definition forwarding Ethernet frames, not IP forwarding.
Please do not confuse bridge with routing or proxy-arp. a bridge operates
at the Ethernet layer and is not related to IP forwarding while routing
(including proxy-arp) operates at the IP layer and needs IP forwarding.
