I don't really see the need for a separator either and CSS can be used for the rendering part of a line, but I'm not necessary trusting my impressions. I have looked in a Manual of Typography “Le Ramat de la Typo” (ISBN:2-922366-02-2) and there's no mention of such things. I wonder if the element "hr" has been created to replace the old semantics of the element "p" which was at first created to separate two paragraphs more than nesting them. For the spelling, it has been fixed in the Member draft, the element is called "separator". -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
