> Every argument for deprecating <br> in favor of <line> also applies to deprecating <hr> in favor of <section>. The only structural use for <hr> is as a section separator -- just like <br> is a line separator. With XHTML 2.0, we have the <line> and <section> elements for marking up lines and sections, thus <br> and <hr> are not needed anymore. <br> is deprecated -- why not <hr> ? I agree with this line of reasoning. The goal of the W3C has always been to separate structure from presentation. The horizontal rule would be purely a presentational element if it coexisted with <section>. I've always regarded it to be something of a peculiar anomaly as it is.
