Could someone provide some insight as to why it's in XHTML? It depends on which version of XHTML you are talking about. For XHTML 1.0, it was because XHTML 1.0 was designed as a reformulation of HTML 4, which included the hr element. For XHTML family document types based on XHTML modularization, it's up to document type designers whether to include the Presentation Module. For example, XHTML Basic doesn't use the Presentation Module, so the hr element is not in XHTML Basic. Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
