I've seen a number of <HR> related bug reports, but not one that actually referenced
hard-coded
whitespace above and below, and using style alterations based on a possibly buggy
state would be
an amazingly bad idea.
I was looking to see if there was an actual reason why this hard-coded whitespace was
created in
the first place before I consider creating a bug report. Since CSS and layout are so
full of
cryptic exceptions, I thought it wise to find out if it is actually a bug or not.
"If it looks like a bug, acts like a bug, and squishes like a bug, ..." (yeah, but the
<HR>
won't squish all the way <snicker>)
