if you are slowing down, you are better to use the gears more than the brake. If you are in 4th and doing 3500rpm but are slowing down (i.e. not accelerating), you could downshift without using the brake at all.
If I'm a traffic lights, I'll put the car in neutral and release the clutch - saves wear and tear.
'Clutch coasting' is definitely frowned upon by driving instructors as you have less control over the car. I have a feeling it is illegal (here in NSW, Oz).
