Dear diary, on Mon, Jan 20, 2003 at 06:34:41PM CET, I got a letter,
where Kelvin Chung <kelvsyc@shaw.ca> told me, that...

The example given works well only for graphics browsers. Ie. text browsers
usually have nice means to show <hr/>, but * * * would mean a serious
degradation. Similiar for aural media etc.
When thinking about the media independence, though, maybe it would be better to
rename it to something like <separator/> ? This would make its semantical
meaning clear while not implying any particular presentation style (altough a
horizontal line should probably stay recommended for visual browsers).
Kind regards,
