XHTML 2.0 replaces <hr> with <separator> which has a more structural
meaning than horizontal rule.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-structural.html#edef_structural_separator

I'm not shure if an empty separator element is needed. I'd prefer to
use something like <section>, too, because it sets a bracket around
the content which has to be separated. But I guess that it is easier
to use <separator> for example in a dynamic drop down menu to divide
it into sections than to use brackets and define that the last one
doesn't need a border-bottom.
