If there's any mark-up in <hr/>, it's IMHO meant to be a section divider
which I'd express with an empty <section/>. The relation between <br/> and
<l/> is similar.

I don't know exactly what you mean. You can have the same ids in different
documents and still style them differently. I don't say this was a good
solution.

That's pretty much what the cite attribute does, if I'm not getting it
wrong.
