The document that defines what you can and can not do in HTML says
that the only attributes allowed on the element hr are:

 align (deprecated)
 noshade (deprecated)
 size (deprecated)
 width (deprecated)
 id
 class
 lang
 dir
 title
 style
 onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmouseover,
          onmousemove, onmouseout, onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup

 (From: <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#edef-HR>).

So that's why.

The solution is, as others suggest, to use stylesheets to adjust the
look of your hr-element.
