As far as I'm concerned (which doesn't mean anything), HR are a
replaced elements[1] and, therefore, unable to be styled[*?*] beyond
their box model[2], just as Form elements should be too.
Browser vendors do provide a way to style them up to some point
(e.g. I use transparent, border-less HR with a fitting background image
in all but the IE family), but I think that's beyond what the standards
allow. Nevertheless, I wasn't able to find a reference to the second
point ("...unable to be styled...").
