Yes a DIV is semantically neutral, but it has a structural meaning.
And HR doesn't have a semantic meaning either, it's just visual with a
structural implication.

I prefer the DIV because it shows beginning and end of the structural
group. HR doesn't do that, it just marks the end.

But one should consider that HR has an advantage: some text-browsers
and screen readers will render it, the DIV is simply ignored if it
isn't addressed by css.
