Then again, XHTML 2 does have a <separator> element which is just like
<hr>...

But you will notice that XHTML 2 has both <div> and <section>, and
<div> is weightless while <separator> is not.
I am intrigued by this. There are those who believe HR is completely
obsolete /on a semantic level/ because, as we all supposedly know, a
document's semantic structure is divided entirely by headings. I would
like to see if these people have ever swallowed their own medicine and
then developed a site that satisfies anyone.
Furthermore, surely these people should be horrified at the idea of
sections and separators?
Occasionally I get tempted to abide by these bizarre rules and create my
heading minefield of a document that will satisfy these monsters when
they switch to the ultimate view-source browsing experience, but use a
display:none class to maintain readability by human beings with an
existing culture of literature to consider.
