I agree.  You should use the structure of the WHOLE DOCUMENT to create
separations between sections, not the HR element, and not any other hacks
either (in context, I just defined HR as a hack.  This was intentional.)

And if you want the graphical rule, use CSS between the appropriate sections
to draw the line.  The added bonus is that people won't have to remember to
insert the HR element everywhere, it will be drawn where it makes sense.
