--- Comment #1 from Rich Schwerdtfeger <schwer@us.ibm.com> ---
Just because something is a related "concept" does not mean it is functionally
equivalent in a host language. HR is indeed a separator but it has other
restrictions as you see here.

The solution is simple. Apply the role of "separator" to the <li>. This is fact
why we have WAI-ARIA. 

We have to also be careful on the degree in which we restrict WAI-ARIA. 

1. We can't predict all the ways authors will create UIS.
2. Authors cannot keep all the exceptions in their heads and they seldom go
back to the spec. to look at the restrictions.
