It's sometimes difficult to decide when to include HR elements in a document---are they part of the style or part of the document? What happens when the style changes and HR's are no longer needed? I wonder if it might be a good idea to eliminate HR from HTML for the reason that it's too close to presentational markup. There could be situations where you want a HR where there is not any content. I find H1 { border-left: 1px [color here] solid; border-top: 1px [color here] solid } pleasing. Yes, it does degrade plainly, but at least you have the heading's natural (oops, default style sheet) whitespace to fall back on.

For example, if you would like a horizontal >line before all H1 elements, you could say: _/ Steve Knoblock mailto:editor@city-gallery.com _/ City Gallery http://www.city-gallery.com/ _/ Member NSA http://www.3d-web.com/nsa/nsa.htm
